    My search function is not working. I need to see a pic of drop spindles compared to originals. Is it the stub axle thats lifted 2" or is it a combobof stub axle and balljoint mounting points? Im curious cause with my wheel combo I have very little wiggle room from balljoints to rim.

    Go to Google images and type in 84 toyota pickup stock spindles and than 84 toyota belltech drop spindles, save the 2 pics and then compare them.

    I gonna assume u mean stub axle. Which means my lower balljoint will be closer to the rim and upper balljoint will be lower than the rim.

    Well I will be unreasonably lucky if my lower control arm clears my wheel. I may be able to unflip my lower bjs to make more room. I already have a 1/4" spacer in the front that helped but we shall see! I have clearance issues with my upper bj now so glad to hear thatll get fixed! Thanks all
