Drop spindle question

Does anyone make a 2.5 drop spindle that I can use with my drum brakes?

I have not been able to find any that will bolt in using stock upper ball joints and retaining drum brakes, however I have heard now that they do exist.

Re: Drop spindle question

I couldn't find them on either of those sites. They all require you to use disc brakes.

Re: Drop spindle question

You could always channel it and drop the body down a few inches to lower it with out touching the suspension.

Re: Drop spindle question

All I have seen is for disc. It's an easyswap, and if you want to save some bucks, you might bea able to order all your brake parts through kragens except for the rotors.

Re: Drop spindle question

not sure if it is something you would consider, but lmc does offer a 2"/3", or 2"/4" lowering kit which doesn't require nothing more than front springs, rear springs and front shocks, or rear shocks . nothing else on the suspension.

Re: Drop spindle question

That wouldn't work for me. What I want to do is put 2 1/2" drop spindles with 2 inch drop springs in the front with 6 inch drop springs in the rear.
