The drop spindles move the wheel up into the guard without changing the suspension settings. Not a cheap option but when we put them on the 1 tonner which was already lowered with Kings lowering springs we had to get standard ride height springs to lift the front back up. The Kings springs were not that bad but there was a bit of bump steer and the suspension would crash through over bigger bumps due to the reduction in suspension travel. All this was cured with the drop spindles and they come certified so you don't have any trouble with rego/roadworthy (in Victoria anyway).

I agree with HK though, they look better close to std ride height. Jessica had a different opinion though. With the Torque Thrust wheels it looks OK. Each to his own.

When Rod Hadfield owned the Rod Shop it was worth a trip up to Castlemaine just to look through his "Museum" - all the stuff he had built over the years. From a standard looking HR with a 350 Chev that looked factory to his Merlin powered 55 Chev and an amazing twin supercharged T. Heaps of photos all over the net if you want to check them out but you can't beat seeing them in the metal. Not sure if its still all there though. Met him a couple of times, a dead set gentleman, got time for anyone to talk. Living legend and what a life he's led.
