Default Is there a 1" Drop Spindle?

I know this sounds like a dumb question, but I have been debating on whether or not to drop my truck for quite sometime. I got the idea of doing a 1-3 drop instead of a 2-4. All my buddies have 2-4 on theirs and I do like it but I was wondering if anyone made a 1" spindle in order to do this. I already have 2" drop shackles in the rear, and I was considering doing a 2" hanger with a 1" shackle. Thanks

Spindles are 2"; I think there was a 3" for the 73-87 and 88-98 for a while too though but no 1" version. For an inch in the front just get some drop springs or cut 1/2 a coil off the stock springs.

Yea I have a 99' Classic (Old Body Style). I thought about doing the coils, but I was wondering how it would affect the ride. A buddy of mine had 2" coils and he recently swapped them out for the spindles. The ride was a bit rough.

For the OBS, there aren't any one inch spindles that I know of. I'd just trim the stock coils if you want to go one inch. for all of the trouble I'd just do the 2/4 drop.

I got one inch drop springs and 2" drop shackles and the ride is fine. It probably even corners better now.
