rs2000escort Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 drop spindles if you can get them or get them made up - not cheap tho or remove the thread with nut on the you wound down and install a longer thread duno if you can do it on your van or if it the same set up as a l300 but yeh some ideas duno if they will work or be safe tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipsittin Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Bump steer will be your bigest regret here. Go drop spindles on the front. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I got same van, guy did same thing on mine, and it steers mean as, no bump steer issues at all that I have noticed. its not like you can go out and buy drop spindles for these, although, maybe hilux stuff will fit who knows. than again maybe your going lower than I am Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
