1992 Pickup with suspension torn apart.

Right now I've installed DJM LCA's and one ton torsions with all new poly bushings. I'm also thinking about purchasing a set of Belltech drop spindles as well but I have concern with back spacing for the wheels I have as I don't want the spindle to rub or interfere. Don't know if it matters or not but I have a Wilwood big brake kit going on as well.

Wheels are 18x9.5 w/ 5.250 backspacing. I'm thinking this = +1 offset?

Does anyone know if the LCA's paired with the Belltech spindles and my rims work with out issue? I'd rather not spend $250+ to find that it doesn't work.

Really need solid answers, not so much " I think so".

Thanks in advance.

 

Never mind.. I'll take the plunge.

 

I don't have a solid answer, but I think spindles move the wheel up. Which means your lower ball joint is closer to the inside diameter of your wheel.

Should only be an issue if running 14-15" wheels...or so I've read.

 

Thanks for the input! I looked at yotaman95 build thread and he's running 18's, LCA's and drop spindles without issue so I should good to go.

 

Will that backspacing be an issue rubbing on the inside of the tire well? I rubbed with about 3.5" backspace (on an '82 and stock rims, mind you) when I was navigating parking lots, but only after I lowered the truck about 3".
