    Questions from the new guy 84 C10 step

    Just picked up a 84 1/2 ton 2WD Step side. Its all stock and ready to drop. I'm going with a flip in the rear and considering 3" drop spindles in the front. I read on one of the forums that running the stock rally wheels with the 3" spindles was a problem? anyone have experience with this?
