I just went outside and took a measurement off of my truck and came up with
4 whole inches.
I'm running 235/60/15 .
Now I installed a Fatman Fabrication "Low One" Crossmember which was
manufactured to be installed higher up into the frame rails there by
lowering the truck more than a stock Mustang II Crossmember. I also had to
c-notch the frame rails for steering "tie rod" clearance.
My lower control arms are parallel to the ground.
If you didn't purchase a Crossmember that was manufactured with a drop built
in you might have a chance with the dropped spindles.
I personally would recommend against the dropped spindles especially if you
have plans of driving the truck on a daily basis. It's going to be way to
low!
Take a look at what the 4" of Crossmember clearance looks like and let me
know what you decide.
