I've read that they should be the same and others like Les Scwab say up to 3/32. Perfect and somewhere in the middle makes sense to me. Too much and the transfer case will protest!

So since putting on the 2/3 drop Saturday, been experiencing a weird random brake related issue. At least for the McGaughy's drop spindles you have to trim the brake backing plate some in order for the caliper/caliper bracket to bolt back up. I had kind of forgotten this and wasn't well prepared by the time I had it all torn apart and needed to trim them, so I had to do it with a pair of snips. Needless to say it was a bit of a hack job, but I got it done. The driver's side plate got a little bent up while doing this, but there was adequate clearance between it and the rotor after reassembly.
What it's doing is at slow speeds, light braking, and only when mildly turning (seems to happen more when turning right), I get a quick vibrating/pulsing of the pedal. Almost like the ABS/wheel speed sensor is freaking out causing the ABS to kick in. Since the hubs had to be removed to install the spindles, I did remove the wheel speed sensors from the hubs, and then reinstall, but don't see how that could have impacted anything.
Kind of at a loss at the moment. I ordered two new backing plates that I'll cleanly trim and install this coming weekend, and also have good look around everything up front, but I'm struggling to come up with what might be causing it.
Any ideas or similar experiences?

I would check those sensors and make 100% certain there is no dirt or rust and that they are absolutely clean and bolted in tight. Its doing exactly that from what you are describing, abs sensor is freaking out.
double check those abs sensors, agree with Pete

That was my plan this weekend when I put the new backing plates on. Also ordered two new sensors just in case. El cheapo brand, so not the end of the world if I just keep them as spares. Also need to remove the 1 in spacer in the rear. After it fully settled after putting a few miles on it, the front is right about an inch lower than the rear, so I guess I need a 2/4 to be level on mine.
