Title: two inch drop spindle
Post by: FOOSE on November 04, 2016, 12:50:37 pm
Hey guys!

Has anyone ever come across a 2" drop spindle for the 73-87 trucks? all I find is 2.5" or 3.0". those numbers bring my control arms to low and I want as much ground clearance as I can, in fact a 1" drop spindle would be even better with my 2" drop spring and 3" drop control arm. total I want a 6" drop without my control arms like an inch off the ground.

thanks!

P.S. the picture shows the truck needs one more inch in the front, it has a 5" drop now (2" spring and 3" control arm)

CPP had modular 2 inch drop spindles, one of if not the best spindle available.  https://www.summitracing.com/parts/clp-cp30106-4/applications/make/chevrolet/model/c10-pickup?prefilter=1

ok so it says they are 2" drop on summits site but when I look up that part number on CPP's website it comes up as 2.5". wouldn't CPP have the right one?

I feel kinda stupid but I can't find those on the cpp website, I see the link you sent me but I can't actually order them from that page and when I leave that page then those spindles are no where to be found, how did you find them?

I entered the part number in Google. Just buy them from summit.
