Ahoy, I am looking to buy an 87 2600 and wanted to know where I can get some spindles and front bag mounts for it. The rear is already bagged so Im set there. The spindles that I found on AIM says to use the OE offset or the shafts can break. What is the OE offset?

Josh

Also, does the 87 have I beams in the front or A-arms?

as long as yer a 2 wheel drive, yer cool, don't get spindles, its not worth it unless yer trying to run a 20. 18" wheels, stock spindels work fine, don't waste your time. Start out by flipping the front ball joints, that helps just as much and doesn't cost anything. (as long as u have some hand tools and a grinder) You can see here in a tech article on bagging the front http://www.lowdowncustom.com/tutoriaux-d6.html how the lower ball joint is flipped to the top side of the ball joint. Do the same for the top and your set. im me or email me at phil@lowdowncustom.com if you have any questions.

You dont HAVE to flip your ball joints though. keep that in mind. also what size wheel and tire you plan on using?

I have a set of dropped spindles. IM me if you are interested. The 87-93 do not have I beams, but A arms.

get the spindles, youll be happier in the long run. also if you want to live a happy worry free minitruckin life, dont buy any thing from aim, thats my opinion

i second that notion

Control arms. All drop spindles are gonig to warn you that they will break with out an OEM offset. And they can, prob wont but can.

Also, you should avoid buying any bolt in bag bracket. Bolt in NEVER bolts in, first lesson!!!

haha AIM is the only place to buy Mazda spindles....

I agree with what has been said, you dont need spindles to lay out on anything smaller than an 18, you just have to cut the LCA to clear where it hits the frame and MAYBE put the lower balljoints on top of the lower arm instead of the bottom (where they are now), depends on how close your strut rod comes close to the tie rod ends.

I have a 92 B2200 Ext Cab if you want to buy it. $2500
