So, I'm getting ready to buy a 2/4 drop kit for my 90 RCLB, and have done a lot of research on the various manufacturers, or so I thought. Based on what I had found previously, I was most likely going to get the McGaughys kit with the drop spindles for HD brakes.
Well, today I'm browsing YouTube videos, and come across Eric The Car Guys (ETCG) channel where he has a series chronicling the build of his Dad's 90 RCSB. He has a four-part episode where he is redoing the whole front end, and is using the McGuaghys drop spindles. Long story short, he has to take a grinder to the spindles in several areas to get them to function through the entire range of travel due to interference with the stock control arms.
This is not something I had seen or heard when looking at the various kits. Is this something anyone here has heard of, or encountered personally? Is this a McGaughys issue, or do Belltechs, DJM, Western, etc. have the same problems? Or, is it something that ETCG did wrong to bring this about?
I'd rather not have to take a grinder to nice new drop spindles to make them fit properly. It seems that the various manufacturers have had these kits available for quite some time, and that fitment issues would be sorted out. Thanks for any input on this.
