Hey guys this is 84 Ram, I haven't been on in a long time. I couldn't remember my e-mail password or password to this site so I'm starting over. I got my truck together with all the drop components from Eric at Mid America Customs, got it alignened and I have to say it drives really well. Probably better than when it was new.

I'm the same way, I've been through a divorce been laid off and moved so my truck has been put on the back burner. I am going to start doing some much needed repairs that involve little to no money.

Default Which Tie Rod Reamer?

What is the degree per foot reamer you need to ream out the Dakota drop spindels to fit the stock D150 Tie Rod End from the Top.

Over 25 pages on this thread and I didn't see it anywhere not even a link that calls out the correct reamer.

I have an 86 D150 and a set of western suspension 1st gen Dakato spindles.

I've got an 88 D100 and would be interested in some drop spindles if they ever get made. Read a few pages but I'm not reading 25 of them to see what's up! haha

Been a long time since I've been here myself. Been wondering if these would work.
www.magnumforce.com

Kinda pricey, but opens up lotsa options for brake upgrades. I went to the boneyard a couple years ago hunting a car spindle that would offer some drop. I measured a couple B bodies, a C body, F body and an M body.

All the spindles had the same spacing for the lower ball joint bolts as a pickup spindle. Unfortunately, the C/L of the spindle was the same too, so no drop.

If the Magnum Force would bolt up it might cure [or maybe create lol] a hell of a lot of problems.
Edit: I have no idea about the upper ball joint/wheel brg compatability, but given Ma Mopar's frugality it woudn't suprise me if there's a compatible upper joint/brgs on the books someplace. Could run B/E body 4.5" BC rotors/brakes ? I've done no research beyond the boneyard spindle measurements. Just another brain fart mostly.

I am thinking of going a little lower too,if I go with the Dakota lowering spindles,simply will all my original parts fit and what will need changed?
Sorry for asking this old question,I just want to know what I will need to get/do.
