Drop Spindles #

Hello, I have bagged my 72 1/2 ton suburban and would like to add drop spindles.
Do anyone have a product # for a set of 2 or 2.5 inch spindles that does not require changing ball joints or other parts?
DJM or Western is what I would like to use.
Thanks for the response.

For a direct bolt on spindle, make sure you get a 71-72 specific spindle.
The board Vendors should be able to help you.
Otherwise look at Summit Racing.

So I guess that the 2" drop spindles will be the safest way to go with my wheels. 15x7 fronts and 15x8 rears.
Thanks again.

Just remember,... that CPP's MODULAR 2" drop spindle require a brake caliper braket at an additional expense.
There are 2 different brackets.
One for 12" rotors (stock), and one for their larger 13" rotors when you use CPP's "Big Brake" kit.

This one is for the 12" rotor.

Personally I would just run a 2.5" drop spindle with the built-in /cast-in caliper bracket.
Belltech, Western Chassis, McGaughy's or Early Classic Enterprises would be my choice.

Thanks, it's has bags from AVS, 2" rear blocks from Boris, 2.5 drop spindles, 450C Vaiar compressor with a 4 path Analog System setup. The picture isn't completly aired out, but I will be adding a c-notch soon and removing the rear bags hats.
It also has front and rear swaybars.
Just a simple set for a better ride.
