Drop Spindles.

What is your experience buying/using dropped spindles? Is one brand different from another? Problems?
Planning on dropped spindle in front, using stock springs.
Thanx, Bob

Early Classic Enterprises. They cost more because they are worth it.

Re: Drop Spindles.

I failed to say I have an '81 C10 short wide.
Early Classic Enterprises doesn't seem to have anything for 81s that I can find.
Thanks Bob

Re: Drop Spindles.

Make sure you measure your rotor width.
There are two different spindles for the 73-87 trucks.
1" light duty or 1.25" hd rotors.
Theres a specific spindle for each.

Re: Drop Spindles.

Just finish d installing western chassis 2.5 spindles and 2" coils from them. Got a ful 4.5" drop. Spindles were nice but had to finish taping holes for brake cover, or use shorter bolts.
