Front lowering spindles - still confused
So after much reading and searching i am still confused as to which lowering spindles will move my tires IN on a 1987 GMC 2wd SWB (needing some additional clearance with the current tires and wheels that came on it). Is it only the CPP modular or are their other choices? Sorry if this is beating a dead horse just want a definitive answer before i go shopping. TIA

Re: Front lowering spindles - still confused
Ive got some pieces to get you down to a 4/6. We use the CPP spindles in our kits and they work really well. I will try and attach a picture of our Square Body so you can see how it sits.
Let me know what you think about the height.

Re: Front lowering spindles - still confused
And you had no track width change when you installed those correct?

Re: Front lowering spindles - still confused
This is what is confusing to me, "Note: Bracket required when using stock 12" brake components. Puts wheels at stock drum offset" from cpp website. Is the stock drum offset wider, narrower or the same as my truck now?

Re: Front lowering spindles - still confused
That truck had factory disc brakes when we installed the kit so I am unsure. I will ask around and see if any of the engineers know the difference in offset between the disc and drum brakes.

Re: Front lowering spindles - still confused
Disc brake trucks have a wider track width vs drum brake trucks.

Re: Front lowering spindles - still confused
The truck has 255-45-20s on it, the same all the way around.
They are Legend Series wheels, we have US Mags on our other C10 that look very similar.
