Well I think I started this odyssey years ago after reading a post on here....fairly straoghtforward but not without issues.

Belltech drop spindles for early dakota.

Issues:
My year truck has larger tie rod shafts, spindles tie rod must be enlarged using taper.

Caliper bracket must be ground down in a small area to clear spindle casting and align bolts.

Caliper bolts must be shortened.

Tierod stubs on spindle needed to be ground down to allow more clearence to rotor.

I also did all bushings with an Energy Suspension kit and without using the tiny red tie rod caps supplied the moog tie rod caps would interfere with rotor.

Doing alignment today so can report on drive and stance shortly.
