Dropped Spindles
I'm looking at a pair of dropped spindles for a '91 Dakota on ebay item # 270109039604. The guy says they're from US Chassis Tech. Anyone know anything about this company?Ken Thomas

Thanks, Denny I checked out their site and it said that the spindles will only work with OEM offset wheels which makes me wonder about their quality.Ken Thomas

I put a set of the same spindles on a customer's pickup a few months back, no problems with them... I did have to do a bit of grinding and use a 1/4" wheel spacer to make the aftermarket wheels fit....Never could read the instructions real well!!!!!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

According to Brian from Slammed 1 suspensions the spindle shafts have a tendency to fracture when stressed with wheels outside OEM geometery. Originally Posted by NTFDAY

I'm with you and Uncle Bob, the extra $60 or so is worth the peace of mind. Originally Posted by Supa Roosta
