Spindles, hangers and shackles

Recently had the guys at Outlaw Customs in Lakeland, FL add Belltech spindles, Eibach hangers and shackles. Love the way it handles and looks.

Is that a single exhaust tip, and do you have a pic of it? The truck looks good with the drop.

With the spindles has your turning radius decreased at all? When I put mine on in noticed that when I turn my wheels all the way to one side the powersteering pump seems to struggle.

Now that's interesting. Have you talked to Belltech?

Have the Ligthning specific steering stops been altered?

Something in the geometry must have changed.

I have noticed a slight reduction in the turning radius as weel, but not enough to bother me. Just drive straight. LOL

did you run into any issues with the castle nut. Can you post a pic of the inside bottom of the front tire so we can see the clearance. Did they have to trim the bolt>?

Didn't charge me anything. It was a trade for some custom billet work for their '66 Chevy show truck. These guys really know their s**t. It didn't take them more than 3 hours to do everything. Would have taken me 3 weeks. No, they didn't remove the bed.

I don't think there's a clearance problem with 20's which is what he has. There is a clearance problem with 18's though.

Also, thanks for the pics of the tip. Looks good.
