None of the DJM spindle's I have installed push the wheel out at all, but you have to trim the rain gutter's on the lower control arms just slightly more than you do for the belltech's which is why Belltech designed their spindle's to push the wheel's out.

do i need to trim them if i just run 15s or 16s? or will i have to trim them either way?

i might end up buying some LCA's, spindles are cheaper tho. i like my friends LCAs on his truck tho, there nice!
either way if i decide to go LCA's i can sell the spindles and coils for extra money and buy the LCA's.

DJM, McGaughys, Western, should all be good. Bell tech no, AIM claims to be made in the same foundry as BT, so who knows?

You need to trim the rain gutter's to clear the stock 15's, I have no idea about 16's.

Well guess that answers that then, lol. I'll look into doing 2" spindles and probably 3" springs. I think I wanna do a 5/5 or a 5/6 drop so its still raked.

looks like i have some researching to do, and a 5/6 gives a nice good rake to me, imo.
