So I got some drop spindles from a friend and I went to put them on, and the center bolt that holds spindle in place does not sit flush how the oem one was sitting.
Djm spindle is shorter than the oem one. My brake rotors are 1.25" and the kit states that that is the size rotors they fit. I'm stuck any help would be great

Well my best guess from the pic and description is your truck has 1.25in rotors and the DJM spindles are for 1in rotors. If that is the case you have two choices, get the correct drop spindles or convert your brakes to 1in rotors.

Thanks I had a feeling that was what happened. Well I'll try to get the 1.25 spindles. I will see if anyone wants to trade or buy them. If I do change rotors is it just the rotors and pads that change or is it the calipers too?

You have to change the rotor, caliper, inner bearings, and seal.
