want to DROP
#12
I have Mcgaughy 16" drop spindles and lost NO turning radius. Best spindle to run only more work to install than your standard 17" drop spindle. The turning radius is lost from the balljoint bolts hitting the spindle when turning. This can easily be fixed with slight clearancing of the spindle. You don't sacrifice the strength of the spindle either. People with 16's be happy you have 16's, the 16"+ is a good spindle!

I'm sorry, but every word in that post is wrong. Rumors still exist...no worries though.

We talkin' about a 2 or 4wd truck? I don't have a problem cearancing the sindles some or grinding down a ball joint stud. I'm very interested in 16" drop spindles. Sorry if I'm beating this thing to death................

You have 4wd so you can only use the Mcgaughy 17" and up spindle. Sorry didn't realize you had 4wd at first. I'll leave that info for others, since it good info and may help kill rumors.
Run a Mcgaughy 17" spindle, you may have to clearance the spindle some for turning. Not a big deal. You will have to use the Mcgaughy supplied shorter ball joint nut and cut some of the ball joint off. Not a big deal. PM me with any questions, I have dealt with these Chevy trucks for years they are easy to me.
