2.5" drop spindles and 15" wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just now installing my new front suspension with 2.5" drop spindles. And, I didn't think of it before, now I'm worried my 15" wheels won't work once it is all back together. Anyone know if I am right or not?

It depends on your wheel backspacing. I am even running 3" spindles on my current truck with stock 15 inch wheels. No trimming anywhere, no rubbing anywhere. It's all in the backspacing.

Ok. That's good news. Thanks!
