I see that Magnumforce have released a new disc brake conversion kit including a set of 2" drop spindles.
I already have some I bought from Fatman Fabs. and they look a lot bigger than the Magnumforce ones.

Yeah, no kidding their bigger. Fatman units are a hair over 10 pounds each. Stock disc spindles are just under 8 and drum and FJM spindles are a little over 6 pounds each. So your adding a fair amount of unsprung weight with those units.

The only thing I don't like about the fatman fab spindles are they are multiple pieces welded together - the MR spindles are one piece castings.

I've done some research on the magnumforce spindles. the spindle is .100 diffrent from the original oem style spindle. what that means is on a factory set up oem brakes there are no problem, however anyone else using aftermarket brakes will encounter a problem which doesn't allow the bearing to seat properly. the outcome is the wheel and brake components are shifted outboard about a 1/4" some might see that as a problem and some might not. they are correcting the problem and supposedly will release the "new batch in Nov/ DEC to compensate for this.
