Here's a couple links to videos we've already done that cover what you're looking for... Booster install with line install tips: ua-cam.com/video/jyXeBOg2wjE/v-deo.html - Disc brake conversion 1963-72 Style: ua-cam.com/video/sebg51EheUo/v-deo.html
When it's all done, will it be a 3/5 drop?...or a 5/7 drop? That truck is just how I want my 83 Chev C10 to look. This will be my first time doing this. I want that ride comfort and handling! Excited and can't wait to do this!!
Well it didn't show the grinding of the spindle, in all Chevy trucks when drop the rim hits the spindle and lower control arm, I wanted to know what you guys did for fix this problem..
We didn't have to grind our spindles for clearance. That ONLY happens when using a non-disc brake 15" wheel or ANY 14" wheels. Additionally, BROTHERS Spindles are specifically made for us with extra clearance for lower a-arms and to accommodate unusual backspacing.
What type of brake caliper did you use am having trouble with mys i bought a 1.25 drop spindle and had to change my bearings and rotors but having trouble finding the right caliper
Did you buy the drop spindle from us? It's hard to say what caliper to use if we don;t know what spindle or what rotors your setup has. We don;t sell a 1.25" drop spindle, so we have to assume it came from somewhere else? Sorry, but we can't help without some more info.

This truck has a 454 with factory A/C so we used a 2" drop coil and added a couple of helper blocks to give it a little extra lift and stiffness. If you have a 350, then you could easily run 2" springs with no helpers or 3" springs.
Great job guys,but Y'all do realize that chevy also made 2500's,3500's and Suburbans.There are literally hundreds of chevy 1500 videos. What makes this video special?
Jason, what year is your truck? There are a few things we need to know before we can give you an exact part number. Please call our shop and one of our tech guys will hook you up. 800-977-2767
@@jasonfurtick2395 Jason, ring the shop and have them run down the options you have with an '81. There's still a few options and we can't narrow it down to a single part number without going through a lot of back-n-forth here on UA-cam. 800-977-2767
So after installing drop spindles in my 70 short bed , new ball joints etc.. I have a one inch lean at the drivers side. How can this be corrected? My springs are new too.
Call our Customer Service dept at 800-977-2767 and let's try to figure it out. Too many variables to try and sort out using comments here on UA-cam. Thanks!
dan bentham I took out the stock upper control arms and add the cpp tubular ones and it’s fine now.. it was a heavily used farm truck so I’m guessing something was just worn out or bent
They will if they are left under pressure. You need to support the bottom A Arm so it can't suddenly drop when you release the spindle nuts. Check out our other video about changing coil springs ua-cam.com/video/IMYWFWqUZ9c/v-deo.html

I took mine apart and the lower and tie rod end ball joints are now spinning. Feels like everything I do opens up 20 more things to do haha
That does happen.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV wow yah I have a 15" wheel i just bought a 1" spacer
Great stuff guys
Are front shock relocation needed if you drop the front? I know for the rear you need them if you go past 4".
Same as with the rear, it's going to depend on how low you go. We recommend them on anything lower than a 3" drop.
Im looking for something to drop my 1981 Square Body Short bed. Do you have any pictures of how it look befour and after? Or link to another vidio?
After shot is at the end of this video where we did a Flip Kit and C-Notch install: ua-cam.com/video/faDzX43TPS0/v-deo.html
About to lower my 83 spindles and springs up front are there Torque specs?? Or just tighten until it’s tight
Just from memory we don't recall the torque spec, but there definitely is a spec. Google it for your truck so you get it right.
I have 15” rims x7” will they fit with this drop? Or am I gonna hit the lower control arm?
You'll be fine!
What’s the limit on the 15 inch rims before the control arm hits the wheel?
Can you install drop spindles on a gmc 2500? I'd like to know before I get the kit.
Yes, but you would need to convert all your components to 1/2t stuff. Ball Joints, Tie Rods, etc all need to be "downgraded".
What type of brake caliper did you use am having trouble with mys i bought a 1.25 drop spindle and had to change my bearings and rotors but having trouble finding the right caliper

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV im having the same issue. 1.25 drop spindles are HD or so they say! but im not able to use my stock calipers. any suggestions
@@chingonchacho what type of rotors and bearings did you buy to fit it??
@@leonardsandifer6174 i ended up calling POL and they sent over thier caliper and rotor set the c10 is in the shop pending to function as i hope
Do you know if the spindles and springs will work on a 1978 Shorty Chevy G-10?
No idea Rick. Give the guys at Performance Online a call and see if they have the answer, or maybe even the right parts for the G-10.
Would the installation be the same with lift spindles
Yes
Where do you but the suspension and the shock absorbers

Will drop springs for a 64c10 work with a 83 c10?
Yessir!
You guys don't give sponsorships do you? Just bought a 85 Sierra that were redoing on our channel and we really need this suspension!
No, sorry, we don't sponsor builds.
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV I didn't think so
What size drop spindles was this
2.25" drop
Can you tell me if you are using the 3 inch drop or the 2 inch drop. Coils from the website?
This truck has a 454 with factory A/C so we used a 2" drop coil and added a couple of helper blocks to give it a little extra lift and stiffness. If you have a 350, then you could easily run 2" springs with no helpers or 3" springs.
I have a 79 gmc camper special I think it is a 3/4 ton do they make drop spindles for 3/4 tons any on know?
Not yet, but you can pretty easily convert your 3/4 to a 1/2 and use 1/2 drop spindles. Simple as swapping the ball joints
Will 63-66 Chevy truck coil springs fit on a 73-87 Chevy truck?
No, they are a different size.
is it possible to know were we can order the right pieces for the g-body plzz

@@rockyp544 was their any other indication that it was the upper control arms keen to get mine sorted but wonna be sure its gonna solve it
So the springs don't pop out when u disconnect the spindle

Will this work if I keep my drum style break on?
You can do the drop springs with the drum brakes, but not the drop spindles.
