Default Drop Spindles

I have read on many forums including this one that Ground Force spindles are A #1.

But what about the others?

McGaughys, Bell Tech, Western Chassis, or Summit Racings?

Also I read Summits are Ground Force with out the fancy package or name.

I have mcg on my truck and the machining is absolutely horrible on it. i was pissed when i opened the package and saw it. I dont think they know what a sharp tool looks like. tapered holes for ball joints are not cut deep enough so it does not engage all the way. aside from that. they are not bad. steers fine no bump steer or anything

Maybe JB will chime in. He seems to be familiar with all the companies.

I have never heard that before. If you had a picture of one we could tell by those brake cooling fins which are patented by GF.

I heard the rumor on GMFullsize, and looked for myself. It seems plausable enough, but eh.

They are a touch cheaper, but I have my money in the bank so i am going to wait till I am layed off to lower my baby.
