they are 2 in drop spindles they did not make a 3 inch drop spindle for our trucks and you should not need nothing as it should just come off the old set up and bolt right up to the other

i just installed mine with no problems, callipers bolted back up fine.

just line it all up against the old spindle if you have it, but in reality the calliper can only go back on one way

is it hitting the front or the back of it, i had to put washers in there to keep mine off the rotor, it was hitting the front

the problem is there is about 3" from where the caliper bolts in. cause it hits the rotor. i dont have any of the old spindles and its been 4 years since i took this apart so i have no idea how it goes anymore.
