Re: drop spindles
I've tried searching for those part numbers.
I didn't come up with anything. No other markings on them?

Re: drop spindles
Spindle shaft is higher than stock, they are definitely drop spindles, the real question is what balljoints and tie rods fit them.

Re: drop spindles
at least you have the old ball joints and tie rods. Take them to the parts store and make sure what your buying matches the old.

Re: drop spindles
I know I'm way late responding to this thread, but I came across this same issue last night trying to determine the origin of the spindles I just received from summit. I ordered 2.5" drop spindles for 1.25" rotor for my 87 Silverado. Summit brand part number is SUM-G703. The sales guy said they were actually Western Chassis spindles. When I opened the box, the instructions were from Ground Force. The only casting on the spindles: RH. 11702, LH. 11701. Can't find anything from Ground Force site to positively assure me I have the correct 2.5"drop spindle for my truck.

Re: drop spindles
They are ground force, who may or may not be made by western chassis. They are definitely not chassis tech. I have used those same spindles many times. Does it really matter what brand they actually are, as long as they work well?

Re: drop spindles
I know this is an old thread but i too have a set of these i picked up from a dead project a guy had and just curious as to how much drop they actually are. 2.5 would be good for me
