Drop Spindles

I'd like some opinions on what drop spindles some of you use? I have my 53 on a 94 S-10 chassis and need to drop it down some. I'd like to have a slight rake in the stance, with the front being lowest. I know there a lot of spindles out there but I'd like a quality set. Thinking about a 3" drop if possible? Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks
Ron

Re: Drop Spindles

I use the CST Spindles off of ebay. 2" drop for $120-130. I've never had a problem with any of them. Probably put 8 or 9 sets on in the last year or so.

I don't think anybody makes a 3in for s10's if you want to go with a company that has the best rep I'd say belltech but im sure there are other good ones out there

Re: Drop Spindles

Don't do it.
All you have is a bare frame
Get your project 99% before you start dropping it

Two reasons:
The body weight will drop your suspension, a lot
Save money, spend the money on getting the body on

Re: Drop Spindles

Ogre,
Your right, I do plan on getting a lot closer to finishing before I pull the trigger on getting spindles but I did want to have some info before I get there.

Thanks
