Hey,
Anybody got pictures of a truck with just lowering spindles installed? I need ideas.
Thanks!

really?

i would be guessing here, but dont you think a profile shot of your truck would be better suited? i also dont think anyone can draw any conclusions with that picture...

Lets see. It has possible 235-255 tires in the front on 15x10 aluminum rims. The front tires clear, but may hit while cornering and hitting a bump. He said the springs are week which would mean that just a 3 inch spindle drop would have more clearance and have less chance of hitting. Based off of these facts, that means I could probably fit an 18x9 rim with a 245-50 series tire and get the fender well filled with little issues, or even a 20 inch rim with a lower profile tire, just make sure it has a narrower rim to pull it inside the fender lip.
   Im also going to guess that Flamingbig10 used this picture because it is one of the older pictures taken of the truck, since the recent pictures show a completely different set of wheels (and they are sweet) and this may be the pic that just had the 3 inch spindless, the others may be different.  Regaurdless, he posted what he had at the time, and for that, plenty can be figured out. A side veiw could have been better, but effort was taken to help. Thanks Flamingbig10 for helping.

thanks chop top you are correct, its the only picture I have with stock springs the wheels were 15x8 with 3.75  bs on a 275/60 and I couldn't even get out drive way with the tires rubbing, so I  swap for some stock 15x6 steel wheels  with a 205/75, here what it looks now with lowered about 5/7 with cragars
