SO I finally put on my drop spindles this weekend. It all went fairly smoothly and I am definitely happy with the new ride height. It sits right about 2 1/2 inches lower than it did, and the gap between the front tire and fender is gone. The only problem I had was one nut on the drivers side wouldnt come off. CHeck this bad boy out.  But after I was done this is what the front looked like.  And it rubber a little so I had to get some smaller tires on the front. Here is the final product. I'm loving it already.   It was a productive weekend for me and my veedub!  |

Thanks Ray. I like the drop spindles look a lot. The height they gave me is just right in my opinion.
