1987 Silverado drop spindle ?
ive got a question for you guys. i have not verified it with summit yet, (thats tomarrow) but would you buy a summit racing brand drop spindle?
the reason why i am considering it is because its a 2.5" drop spindle (vs 3" belltech and DJM) which would allow me to run a stock 15" steel rally wheel.
belltech said the 3" drop spindle requires a minimum 16" wheel, which i obvously dont have. thanks.
oh yeah, i loweing springs are not an option.
thanks

on fullsizechevy, another member had mcgaughy's 2.5 spindles so i checked their site and on a whim decided to go with them. well more than a whim, but i called them and they said a 15" wheel will probally work, if not, a small spacer would be needed. for 250 shipped to my door, i didnt feel like i got robbed.
il post up pictures when i get them in/on.
thanks

sweet! i will see how that fits and see what i can do about the back. i plan on taking about 1-2 leafs out the back, and mod + re locate the facotry hanger to achieve ~4inches or near even look.
my end goal is have the (center)fender edge to top of tire gap to be even and maybe 1-2" from the top of the tire.
i eventually plan on puting some 17" rims on there and call it good.
well till then,
