R20 Spindles

I have an 87 R20 Suburban with a 454. I'd like to lower it about 3". Can't seem to find drop spindles for it. Are the Belltech 3100 for the r20 truck the same as for the suburban?

Belltech 3100 is a 1/2-ton spindle.
(with 1-1/4" rotors)

These will work.

Summits website is screwed up when you enter 1987 as the year.
You want a 73-87 C20 spindle.

Performance Online sells them also.

When searching on Summit will that be the case for all of the suspension stuff? Search for 86 C20 Suburban...

I assume so.
Actually your '87 suburban parts are all the same up to the 1991 model year.
They didn't change the suburban body style until the '92 model year.
I had a lowered '91 burb and it was very confusing for the auto parts store guys.
Your spindles are the same as the pickups,... so just search a C20 truck.

Performance Online has them for around $400.
