Re: Sparky's 1978 Silverado Build "Addiction"

Bottom line up front: I love the Western Chassis drop spindles. When I had the tire mounted and balanced, I told them to put sticky weights inside rather than the normal ones on the edge. My last set of spindles would just take them off at the tie rod connector with an 8" rallys. Now I need to take them back and have the wheels rebalanced with the normal weights...blah! I also manually tested the front air system...will have to remove the bump-stops....blah again!

Pictures:
1. Thought I'd have room between the bump-stop and the bag, not when deflated! off come the bump-stops.
2. Lots of room between rim and tie rod connector
3. Ready for the LS tomorrow!
4. Front shot.
5. Installed an old caliper to get a feel for the spacing.

I slammed the bags and there seemed to be plenty of room at the lower control arm for turning in both directions? We'll see when the LS is in??

Thanks Mike
