However, I've read a couple of posts that seem to say that there is an issue with control arm clearance with 15" wheels after a 2.5" spindle drop. Is this the case? If so, how did you get around it?
Thanks!

To answer your question about 'interference', there is some but it varies w/the back-spacing. Narrower wheels require less trimming of the lip around the BJ edge of the lower a-arm; wider wheels w/more back-space might require more.
Hop over to the suspension forum & post up your wheel size & back-space. See if someone might have that combo to give you a more specific answer.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
