Ive ordered DJM drop spindles they say 3 inch. Is there any problems I might run into when I install them with factory wheels?

I just put a set on my 74. You may have to grind a little off in the brake caliper area to clear 15in wheels.

Ok I can handle that. I just didn't want to have to grind on the control arms or anything.

Grinding on the control arms is going to depend on the offset and back spacing of 15in wheels. Here is my 86 with stock 6in rallies and the control arms are close but I didn't have to grind on them to get clearance.

Is spindles all you have done to both trucks for lowering?
