I think he should keep them so others who look at this thread can see what kind of advice you give out with garden hoses and what not. Show the thread that has Springtech lifts failing and I can find one where Fabtech fails as well. And I have a Fabtech so I'm not biased, just saying all the lift kits from major companies have been engineered to handle most circumstances

 

The garden hose thing was just a joke. But i apologize to the op for filthing his thread with my uselessness. And if my quotes could be deleted that'd be great

 

The only springtech fail I've heard of was on a ranger and the kid beat on it like it was a trophy truck. Any cast spindle is going to break under that situation no matter the brand.

 

so back on topic i think while i have the front end torn a part i thin im going to pain my lower A-arms and sway bar and steering hardware with spray coating and knock off the build up of road grime and dirt. or i may to to scrap yard and get a nother set and just paint and swap what do ya think?

 

Just paint them while there on there, that's what I did.

 

oh okay

 

Yeah just clean them up. No need to go get boneyard parts. Worse come to worse, go to the parts store and pick up new bushings and BJ's for them.

 

does daystar make a bushing kit for the stock set up?

 

It's possible, but I'd just get moogs so you know they're quality.

 

moogs?

 

Yea thats the one i heard about also. I dident mean to talk sh*t on the spring tech lift. I was gonna get that one before i purchased the fabtech. But damn suspension max never shipped it so i canceled it and got the fabby.

My bad for talkin smack i was hurt by buxton saying my truck is nigg rigged. I worked so hard on it and it just hurt my feelings. Im over it now.

 

well now that its settled, i really wanna see your truck, im big on lifted 2wd trucks. even thought around where i live i get asked all the time why did i lift it. and i have to admit i do some goofy stuff to my truck, like to keep my bed chest from flooding everytime it rains here it is drilled to some 2x4s

but my stuff never floods

 

They make ball joints, bushings, etc. They're really good quality parts and most of them are greasable so they'll last longer too.

 

oh okay thanks man

 

Sure ill take some pics. Im looking forward to seeing yours when its done.
