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.

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.
