In 1983, Belltech developed one of the industry's first revolutionary products to help jump start the Sport Truck craze, the Drop Spindle.
By relocating the spindle pin (or hub) higher on the spindle casting, our engineers can provide a 2" or 3" lowered ride height without negatively affecting the front-end suspension or steering geometry, not even the shock absorber!
Belltech Drop Spindles offer various lowered ride heights depending on your application, while improving handling and retaining factory ride quality. Belltech spindles retain critical suspension geometry and eliminate excessive ball joint, shock, and tire wear common to other methods of lowering. Each spindle is crafted from high strength ductile iron, CNC machined, with a powder coated finish. Providing the structural integrity to meet and exceed all factory specifications & requirements.
Fits:
1973-1987 GM C10 trucks 2WD
1973-1991 GM Suburban 2WD
- 3" lowered ride height
- Powder coated high strength ductile iron castings
- Designed for use with factory ball joints & Tie Rod ends
- Retains original geometry, alignment, and ride quality
- Lower center of gravity for improved handling
Note: LIGHT DUTY BRAKES WITH 1” THICK ROTORS ARE REQUIRED.
The track width of your vehicle will be increased by approximately .45" per side. This design was developed to allow the fitment of small diameter wheels (15" - 16") that were popular at the time of inception. Please ensure you are aware of this increase in track width before you purchase these lowering spindles.
