2 inch drop spindles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I almost always see 2.5 or 3 inch drop spindles but the other day i saw Brothers sells a 2 inch spindle. I run stock 15x8 rallys and was wondering if the using the 2 inch spindle will my rims clear my control arms without clearancing them?

This may be apples and oranges as they say, but: I'm running those same rims with 275/60 TA radials, 2 1/2 drop spindles and have no clearance issues. Good luck with your project.

Sorry, I didn't say that I'm running that on a 77' c10, don't know if there is that much of a difference between an 86' front end.

Interesting, the rim clears the lower arm even at full turn? What brand spindle?

I've been running these for awhile (2000) so hope that this is even close to being useful information...I bought them from Chassis Tech, and I see that they are at least still in business. Bell Tech was the big name back then, but they wanted a lot more for their products.

Wow, first positive comment I've heard about Chassis Tech
