Lift spindles do not require any other mods. Also, they will not change the ride quality of the truck at all.

Thanks for the responses wandell. I have considered buying those spindles for a long time now because they are so cheap. About what you were saying using the set-up I am about to install with lift spindles. The back would be really low compared to the front wouldn't it?

I have one more question. How in the world do you tow with a body lift? Obviously you would need a drop down hitch, but how do you get it even with your back bumper? I think it is going to look really stupid being 3 inches lower.

hey Walldell, is that all we would need is just lift spindles? and then we like 3" of lift? dont need arms or anything?

He says you can just slap them on there

how does the lift spindle lift the truck? is it just a lower placement of the spindle making the wheels sit lower and truck ride higher?

01f1502wd · #23 08-31-2009, 02:25 AM

the lift spindle is taller between the arms if you know what i mean...

thejake1989 · #24 08-31-2009, 02:30 AM

Then would it make having the spacer worthless? Or does it add to the space since it's taller cuz currently with my spacer my uca make about a 90 degree angle with my spindle so what would the noew spindle so to it

01f1502wd · #25 08-31-2009, 02:37 AM

I will let someone who has experience with this explain, but somehow the spacers press down and...blah blah blah blah.... create lift

thejake1989 · #26 08-31-2009, 03:00 AM

ha ok thanks it probably really simple but well see what others can say

01f1502wd · #27 08-31-2009, 03:03 AM

Exactly. Also, you will need a lift block or add-a-leaf out back to raise the rear.

thejake1989 · #29 08-31-2009, 11:12 AM

ok thats the only theory that worked in my head. so a 3" spindle/1.5" spacer and 3" block will clear 35"s only with aftermarket rims?

01f1502wd · #30 08-31-2009, 12:14 PM

and give it 4.5" of lift? dang.
