This doesn't look right...........
Well maybe it's OK and I'm overlooking something obvious. Puttin' on the drop spindles and dang it looks awfully tight once I'd get the UCA BJ set, but that the thing, when I jack up the UCA to get everything together everything just goes up; UCA and all, BJ stud does not drop down. And even if I do get it dropped down- it looks too tight by the CV joint to get a nut in there and the top part of the spindle looks REAL close to the CV boot. Any help or insight guys really appreciated.......
TIA

Yes, and perusing the instructions found that I need to remove CV shaft, thought I could get away without doing that. As far as the correct spindles, yes

Yes FF, there is a recessed hole at the bottom; and yes- they did include nuts for the upper and lower BJ. Thing is, I tried to thread the lower one on to secure for hanging and it felt as if I were cross threading from the get go, so I wonder if this is one of those one use nuts as I will need to grind down the lower BJ stud. Gonna be taking off the CV axles tomorrow after all, no short cuts.............

That's for pointing that out, mad- swear I need glasses. Finally got everything lined up the way it should be. Gonna go down there with the grinder now, after lunch- then test fit CV shaft. Thanks for putting up with my whiney ***, I'm feeling better as I go along..............

Oh yeah- already got that, mad. Shaved my lower nuts, too. I got with McGaughy and sent'em a pic of the close proximity of the CV Boot to spindle top and he asked if that was at full droop, yes; said it'll pan out when truck is back on the ground.......
