Do Granada Spindles or Big Ford Spindles create a 2" drop by themselves, I know guys use the so you can run disc brakes, thanks

The Granada 'style' spindle drop is dependent on the donor vehicle.  Just because the spindles are in the Granada style family does not mean they have the same geometry or drop.  The ones I have measured have an inch drop from the OEM '57 spindles.  So...measure twice.  Since Fatman closed their doors, I haven't researched other vendors for upper control arms.  To get modern alignment specs, aftermarket or modified control arms may be necessary.

RICH MUISE

From what I remember Dave @ Drop n Stop explaining to me: The drop Granada spindles produce depends on the reaming . If they are reamed so that the spindle sits "at the top" of the '57 ball joints, the drop will be about 2". If they are reamed out further so the spindle drops another 3/4" or so on to the ball joint, the drop will be less than an inch.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe
