    Have a set, and was wondering if the these AIM brand front 2" drop spindles push the wheels out, like some brands do. They are for an OBS, & are about 12 years old. Thanks.

    I don't believe they do, but I can't be sure.

    I do know that I would get rid of them before even considering putting them on my truck, though.

    Why? They have been on my truck, when I bought them new from AIM Industries, since 1998. Zero complaints. Guess I will have to contact Joe Morrow, the owner of Aim, if no one really knows if they kick the wheels out or not.

    Well if you've had them on your truck for 12yrs and haven't had a problem, you need to go buy a PowerBall ticket with that luck.

    Have you not read the sticky about AIM/chassis tech products?
    I've seen aim spindles broken in half.

    Just thought if anyone would know about this, FullSizeChevy's braintrust would have known the answer? They(AIM/ChasisTech) sold, without a doubt, the most volume of anyone, in the 90's craze of truck suspension modification components. Guess this site is better geared towards newer truck info. My mistake. Thanks

    If you've had them on for 12 years, then you should already know.

    It was a simple question. I don't know the answer. Thats why I asked. Do you know the answer? I don't have a stock/standard/factory original spindle to measure and compare it to. Do you? Thanks

    Yeah. You're right. Nobody here has OBS trucks. Pretty uncommon here. You're welcome.

    I would say they do, being they say they use the same foundries at Bell Tech.

    Thanks CKTA. I think your truck is one of the best look'n on this site. Nice to see a truck with something different under the hood too.
