Spindles.

I currently have 1.25 rotors on the truck. I was wondering if I got a set of lowered spindles that were for 1", what else do I need to change to make them work? Brakes? Rotors? I have a chance to pick up a 3" lowering set cheap.

I recently did the exact swap in reverse. You will need to replace the rotors, calipers, inner and outer wheel bearings. The brake hoses and dust covers are all that will interchange. The good news is that the 1" rotors are cheaper than the 1.25"

If things go well. $125. + $50 shipped. But if I have to change everything else, Its not much of a bargin..
If this doesn't fly. Then I guess I'll go back to the original plan. Buying 2.5 spindles with 1" springs and a flip kit.
