I purchased the Belltech 4/6 drop a while back and finally got around to installing it (spindles, springs, and flip kit for the rear). However, I get to the tail end of the front install and hit a speed bump...If it's not one thing, it's another. I was just mocking things that didn't "really matter" (caliper, brake lines, etc.) when I dropped it back on the ground to check alignment angles and just to see what it looks like. Got it back in the air to finish everything up and it turns out that the passenger side spindle is a lemon (as far as I can tell). There is no physical way that I can see possible to line the upper bolt on the caliper to the spindle. The hole that was CNC'd out of the spindle for it is off by what may be 2mm at the most. Doesn't matter if I try and bolt the upper or the lower first...Just not happening. But before I have to wait another 2 weeks for a new one, I know there are PLENTY of people here that are running these exact spindles on their truck...Has anyone any special tricks that I'm not aware of to get this stuff to work? Maybe take the brake pads off and try and get it together that way? The driver's side went on without a hiccup, but this just isn't working. I've heard plenty of great things about Belltech; so when something like this happens, I can't help but worry a little. The truck needs to stop being a hovercraft on these jack stands and come back to earth.
Thanks a ton!
