Since you don't want to use the ATS/SpeedTech AFX , I would recommend the RideTech spindle, Tru Turn and a Speed Tech 670 Delphi Lee box set up over the rack system. Its a great set up and to me feels better than any rack kit available now.

You shouldn't need a drop spindle at all. just run the stock one you will be able to get the ride height where you want it.

I just looked at the site and there is just a picture of it.

Blake, are you still selling Lee's 670's?

There is a HUGE supply problem from Delphi right now that is why we took it down, Lee is struggling to get NEW box Cores, they do not use old stuff and the supplier is not delivering so rather than have to make excuses we just took it off the site, wish it wasn't that way but these are old out of date parts and I suppose we are lucky they have been making them this long

They are a bit smaller, about 6lbs lighter and fit all the headers we have used.
