Does anybody make drop spindles? 71 f100 longbed

Post by jkrustchinsky »

ok my bad for starting a few too many threads,

anyway im still brainstorming on how to lower the front end of my f100 longbed, my dad hates the idea of a 5 inch drop but hell come to sense when he sees whats going on,

i took the rear end off this week and have gotten everything figured out all the measurments and all, and ive decided to go with the axle flip and ill do that when i get the bed off to sand down the frame and weld up anything wrong,

the problem is the front and it has really been racking my brain, well i was standing outside and my dad asked if they made drop spindles, i said what the hell are those? anyway they are spindles that adapt and replace the angle of your old ones to adjust your camber, hells yeah thats a good idea

im not gonna buy $400 drop i beams, i wanted to see if anybody made any spinles for the ford f100's, so let me know what you guys think and if any companies have these

Sorry....our trucks have been forgotton about in the aftermarket when it comes to drop spindles. The drop beams are really the only option, unless you want to use a much-more-expensive Mustang II front-end kit.

the ones up here just heat the front coils and replace the tires every couple months. they don't care about correct anything as far as I can see.
