The Slamrite 2-1/2" Disc Brake Drop Spindles for 1963-1970 Chevrolet C10 trucks offer a significant upgrade by enabling the use of disc brakes and lowering the front ride height by 2.5 inches. Here are some key features and benefits:

Features & Benefits:

  1. 2.5” Drop Spindles:

    • Lowers the front ride height by 2.5 inches, enhancing the truck's stance and potentially improving handling.
  2. High-Quality Construction:

    • Cast from premium-quality ductile iron for durability and strength.
    • 4140 chrom-moly CNC machined axle pins ensure precision and longevity.
  3. Compatibility:

    • Accepts factory ball joints and tie rod ends, simplifying installation.
    • Designed to work with 1971-1987 1-1/4” rotors, calipers, and bearings, making it easier to source parts for the upgrade.
  4. Maintains Original Offset:

    • These spindles retain the original offset, which can be crucial for maintaining proper alignment and handling characteristics.
  5. Sold in Pairs:

    • Comes as a pair, ensuring both sides of the front axle are upgraded simultaneously.

Installation Notes:

  • These spindles are designed to replace the original spindles on 1963-1970 Chevrolet C10 trucks.
  • They require the use of 1-1/4” rotors, calipers, and bearings from a 1971-1987 truck, which means you'll need to source these parts if you don't already have them.

Benefits of Upgrading to Disc Brakes:

  • Improved Stopping Power: Disc brakes generally offer better braking performance compared to drum brakes, especially in wet conditions.
  • Reduced Fade: Disc brakes are less prone to fade during heavy use, providing more consistent braking performance.
  • Easier Maintenance: Disc brakes are typically easier to inspect and maintain compared to drum brakes.

By upgrading with Slamrite's drop spindles, you not only improve your C10's braking capabilities but also achieve a more aggressive and lowered stance, enhancing both performance and aesthetics.
