Drop beams I have seen/contemplated. Not been able to locate any drop spindles though. If they are available, they would probably be for a edit conversion. Neither are hard to do, just a matter of cash outlay.

One of the ProStreet owners on Slick 60's took standard I-beams and cut the ends off, then welded them on top of a stock I-beam. This creates sort of a double I-beam at the end where the wheel goes and makes the actual spindle attachment higher, thus making the truck lower.
Now, I know it sounds scary relying on a weld job to hold this together but this particular truck has the best of everything, and the weld job is flawless. A very simple solution to the problem. Wish I had pictures to show it to you.
