i have a 67 C-10, i am putting lowering spindles on. i had some spindles that were ordered for 71-72, and decided to use them... i used 71-72 lower ball joints.... my concern is when i started to bolt everything together, the bottom of the spindle lacks about 3/8 in touching the top of the grease boot..

i have verified with spindle mfg, and with the NAPA supplier of the ball joint.. all appears to be correct.

this just does not look correct to me.... my other stock trucks have the lower part of the spindle pressing on the grease boot..... i will try to post up pics later.
Any suggestions? anyone else ran into this?
