12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

I didn't try the ride tech spindle. I was leaning that way until I found the 2" long ball joint. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. They don't publish the ball joint taper and I found conflicting information on what Chevelles actually had. I would have called them to get more info before moving in that direction. What I have found is the circle track racers have gone through all of this and have many parts to modify control arm angles and GM spindle steering arms. The great thing about the HDK having screw in ball joints for both upper and lower is pretty much anything goes if you have enough tenacity to figure it out. Perhaps a GM spindle is the way to go since there are many options in heights and brakes. Again, this is all speculation that it will work, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

Just an opinion, but I like the idea of a taller spindle over a longer balljoint. Certainly I'm not spending money or doing the work, I just like the idea better than adding length to the stud. At the same time, if I had been in your shoes, I probably would have gone the same direction.

It's kind of like my statement above. I like the "IDEA" of a taller spindle, but the "REALITY" of the additional cost and work probably would have turned me off on it. :D

Either way, my gut feel is that a taller spindle is a better solution in the end.
