Has anyone ever heard anything good or bad on Fat Man Fabrications 2" dropped spindles for B- bodies? Im thinking of getting a set of them, and just want to make sure my suspension geometry isnt going to be thrown out of whack. Im thinking this would get my ride height down to where I want it, without having to crank my t-bars down to an unforgiving height. Thanx.

I've never used them, but I believe that is the way to go if you are lowering. The ride height and alignment can be done with no problem, because the geometry stays nearly the same. A friend used dropped spindles on his hot rod and had to make some adjustments to his drag link. It was a straight axle though and I don't know if it would apply here. It was just a thought for you to ask before you buy.

The only time you should really need dropped spindles is if you are upgrading to 1.12 torsion bars or bigger or want to go reeeally low. The stock adjustment can handle just about anything else. The only real advantage would be that a dropped spindle would allow the clearance from the lower control arm rubber stop to stay at a good distance, meaning total suspension travel upward could remain near the stock travel limit.
