Anybody know where i can get a 3\'\' drop spindle for my 97, i have 3\'\' ones on my 86 that are made by superior spindle, but they nolonger list them for sale. I can only find 2\'\' and i really want a 3\'\'. I want to stay away from springs as much as i can. Somebody besides AIM has to make them. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif

I think the reason that 3\" spindles aren\'t around anymore is because you can\'t use wide tires in the front or need really big hoops to get the lower ball joint inside the wheel or else they rub. Get 2\" spindles and 2\" springs you\'ll be very happy with the ride. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

No the reason for not being able to find 3\" Drop Spindles for a S-Series Ride..Is only because they do not make 3\" Spindles.. you can only buy 1\", or 2\" Drop Spindles.. So get the 2\" Drop Spindles then 1\",2\",or 3\" Drop Coils.. It however far ya wanna go after the 2\" Drop Spindles..

The spindles on my 86 are 3\'\', i measured them when i bought them from the guy, They are out there, AIM has them but i have heard way to much bad stuff about them.

they quit making 3\" spindles about 7 years ago. don\'t buy AIM. Buy belltech or djm, they\'re the best.

3\" drop spindals cause a lot of problems unless you run 18\" wheels.. or have really skinny ones... whch for a street vehcile will suck... i say go with 2\" spindals and a 2\" spring and do the leafs and block in the back to drop the back so it sits level... probnably about 5\" total drop height... it\'ll work awesome and ride sweet
