Did I read that right on the spindle? You have to use 18" or larger wheels with these spindles? That means no drag wheels for the front?

I am sure there is some 18 in ones out there or possibly custom. does not matter much to me as i will probably on be at the track once or twice a year and will probably just be with my 22's on the front and slicks in the rear.

The overall quality looks great. Probably will be a month before I have time to install them

I want to install them this weekend but I need to buy some air tools to install the front hangers for the rear. so i have to wait a few weeks.

any NY guys with airtools have some free time this weekend

how much did they run you????

im thinking about running some drag springs in the front, and running them with my 2 inch drop control arms, to keep my same height, but have the nice soft springs up front...

im against using them for just lowering your truck 2 inches, i would rather go with the control arms, but using them both with a stock height spring would be key!

i was hoping not to have to C notch. I am going to be running front hangers and 2in drop shackles, so i am guessing a 4 inch drop and hope with the shorter bump stops I will be good.
