I THINK U CAN USE ISUZU DROP SPINDELS
AIM,S GOT THEM 4 189.00

do u think could have used a better Forum title that what u did???.... it wouldnt be that bad if u put "rodeo drop spindels"

No they dont make Rodeo drop spindles as far as i have ever heard.... and an Isuzu Truck spindle is not the same as an Izusu Rodeo spindle. Also look at the clearance between the lower control arm and the rim. on a 17 you dont have room for a drop spindle because it would make your rim hit on the lower arm.

It shouldnt realy be that hard to get it to lay that stock x-member on 17s i got mine to lay 2-3" lower than the stock x-member on 17s with just some trimming around the lower control arm mounts where they were binding up.

Next i would suggest scrappin the front clip on that thing and puttin a toyota clip on it and getting a toyota rear axel... you will be way happier in the long run and end up with a much more workable system.

he's the man what ever he tells u do.....and check out he;s frame speaks for itself

Well Im doing the same to my rodeo, if you want to lay frame flat you need to z notch the front frame. The front will lay crosmember with little cuting but it wont sit flat

Yes you will need a Z if you want to lay flat frame..... BUT BEFORE YOU JUST CUT IT. I highly sugesst that you chop off the front crossmeber mounts and make some new ones higher up, and then make a new crossmemeber. You can get 2-3" by doin it. Then rebuild the tranny corss member inside the frame rails then Z it... it will only be a 2" Z to lay flat frame if you do all the things i just mentioned. Oh yeah you will need to do a link system, because the leaf hangers are lower than the rails.

Else if you just want to lay front cross and tranny cross then you can just do a 2"ish Z, or you can not Z it and just lay front cross its realy up to how much you want to get into it.





Good luck.

the above truck is awesome! DAYUM

Can i ask a quick question - what are those headlights out of? Thanks
