My 17's would barely fit the spindles, I had to grind a considerable amount off my lower balljoint and the nut that holds it on. And I actually still had a very slight rub, I needed to grind a bit more off. But I only drove on the stock 17s long enough to get aligned, then back home and put my 24's back on so I didnt even worry about it.

For the life of me I coulda sworn that I saw some McGaughy's 16" 4x4 spindles somewhere..............

OK guys- here it is, the 16: drop spindle. Only problem is I don't know if this is for a 4x4. But if it is I know with what I've learned here This can work.............

please stop confusing people with this nonsense 2001c3driver, i know your just trying to be hopefull but you are looking at an aftermarket distributors web page, if you are going to do some research, do it at the manufacturer's website
http://www.mcgaughys.com/truck_new.html
now look at the link you have listed and note the part number, now go to the mcgaughy's website and look at the second listed part down #33002 2WD only!
Us guys with 4x4's are stuck with a 17" minimum rim part number 33004
