DSE Front Drop Spindle Kit (032090DS) - 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15 Trucks
Lower the front of your classic GM truck without sacrificing the strength and performance demanded by a full-size pickup with the Detroit Speed Front Drop Spindle Kit. Designed for 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 trucks, part number 032090DS delivers a 2.5-inch front drop using Made-in-the-USA forged aluminum spindles paired with forged steel steering arms. The result is an aggressive lowered stance combined with modern hub-pack wheel bearings and brake compatibility in a 100% bolt-on package.
Detroit Speed equips these drop spindles with modern GMT800-style truck hub-pack wheel bearings, eliminating the need to pack conventional front wheel bearings while providing dual 5 x 5-inch and 5 x 4.75-inch wheel bolt patterns. The hub assemblies use OE-style 1999-2006 GMT800 Silverado brake architecture and are designed for GMT800 brake calipers, brackets, and pads with DSE 13-inch dual-drilled rotors. Compatible aftermarket brake options can also be used. This kit retains the truck's steering-box configuration and includes the spindles, hub and wheel bearing assemblies, and steering arms needed for the conversion.
