Re: question about 3 inch drop spindles?
If you go with a 3" spindle vs a 2.5" it "may" have clearence issues. That will depend on the size of your wheel and the backspace.
If you are running a 15x8 wheel it might contact the A-arm.

Re: question about 3 inch drop spindles?
on 3" drop spindles a 15x8 wheel will hit the control arm. the best solution is van ralleys on the front , assuming you are running ralleys...3.5 inches of backspace is max. of course if you run 16" or larger wheels, this is a non issue

Re: question about 3 inch drop spindles?
Mine only minimally rubbed. I bolted them up to check where they rub. Then ground that area a little at a time to clear. Not everything will rub. Just check yours after you install.
