lowered spindle question (just to make sure)

A while back I upgraded to 73-87 front suspension from the control arms out. Question is .... would there be any issues running lowered spindles or am I good to go?

Re: lowered spindle question (just to make sure)

You'll be just fine.. If you're running a stock steel wheel in 7" or larger, you might have to trim the edge of the lower control arm to clear the rim.

Just make sure you're buying the spindles for the '73'-87 application. Make sure you measure your brake rotor thickness and know whether you have the light duty (1.0") or the heavy duty (1.25") rotors. You'll need to know that when you buy your spindles.
