Spindles/Brake Pedal_Too Much Travel

[Sean C]

Hey all. I've got about 3-3.5" of travel on my brake pedal before it does anything. What can be done about this? I keep having to put the pedal all the way to the floor to stop completely. I suspect I might have a leaky brake line.

Also, trying to find a decent set of wheels, but I've got 3" spindles on my hubs and it's limiting my options for a 5x4.75" lug pattern. What have you guys done to get around this? Are these spindles interchangeable?

Thanks all!

Sean
