yes i do have a 620 with disc brakes and ball joints...

 

so would i will be able to use the 720 or HB drop spindle...

 

what parts do i need to run the 720 or HB drop spindle....

 

but why can't i use 14in rims...

 

thanks for the help

 

 

The reason you likely can't use 14 inch wheels anymore with drop spindles is that the lower balljoint is moved closer to the inside of the rim, it will likely hit the rim, making it impossible to mount the rim on the hub, drop spindles have consequences.

The drop spindle will just mount to your balljoints, but you will have to convert over to the late 720/hardbody vented rotors/calipers I beleave, as that are what the drop spindles on ebay are for, late 720/hardbody trucks.

would 15in rims clear

would 15in rims clear

 

I don't know for sure, as I personally have never have had drop spindles, but I have heard you need 15 inch rims, but you should know for sure before you buy wheels if you do use drop spindles, you don't want to buy the wrong size.

anyone have pics of the drop spindles on the truck and how the stance looks....

 

thanks for the help

You can use the same rotors/caliper off  your truck. I do have a picture but not with wheels on.  But cant post pic from phone

Long story short, you cant use the stock rims with out using spacers. The wheel will rub with either the control arm or tie rod. So use spacers or a taller wheel like 17's.
