Guess I'll just leave my truck alone and sell it then. How about that for doing it right or not at all?

On my Mazda I have the AIM drop spindles and 15" nissan pathfinder wheels. My 15s clear the spindle fine. Just a little rub on the 2wd fender when i air it up.

ok so basically what you guys are saying is drop spindles push the wheel out dont get as much lift anymore but they do fix camber issues.And you dont really need them unless you run 18s or bigger.but if you do run say 20s you still dont really need them correct?as far as flipped ball joints it really doesnt make a difference on structural integrity of the part itself.just helps get lower right?just trying to play catch up here!!lol

yes, that is what I got out of it anyway... to much back and forth shit.....for me it was flip the BJ's to get that 1 more inch,Im on all stock part with toyota spindle's and you have to flip the bottom one to get the toyota on the mazda arm( or at lis I thought I had to maybe I didnt not sure did it anyway),did the top to fix some of the camber, now I was going to put 22s on it and then yes I was going to need the drop spindles, but Im keeping the 18s and I can lay out right now... there are other ways around the fliping BJ's and if you like them more do it, this is a place of talk and ? being asked, no one is TELLING you to do any thing there way, do it the way you want it done and then be proud of what you did.......the way I look at it as long as you get it to the ground whats it matter what steps you did to get there, as long as they are safe steps

i sold some aim drop spindles to mrb2000. hes using stock bj's but it took some milling of the holes a bit.

I v got mazda lower BJ's fliped both ways, and toyota upers.....the mazda lower is the same as the toyota so it fit the holein the spindle, the upers i just redriled the arms to mount the toyota BJ to the mazda arms.... Ill get pics today for you... Ill pull my rims and get good ones too, as for the brakes its all the toyota parts, and they all use bango bults so i just put the mazda line on the toyota calaper.......... and I do not have bump steer

oh ya one thing you have to be care of is the now rised spindles makes the calapers turn and hit the bags at full steer
