91 gmc. Drop spindles

Is it normal for the wheels when turned to drag on the A frames?

I haven't looked at this truck since we lowered it a few years ago. Life got in the way.
I am re energised to finish it. I painted box and put rockers cab corners in several years ago. 10k 4.3 5spd. Want to finish and drive or sell to fund 51.

Not sure what you mean by drag, but if you’re referring to the wheel hitting the control arm, yes. 85% of the time you have to trim the control arm front lip. I say 85% because initially I thought any lowering job would require a trim, but members here have lowered the OBS truck and not performed a trim job.

Re: 91 gmc. Drop spindles

all depends on wheel diameter and width...
