Fabtech Spindle Update
Just wanted to let you guys know that H&M has just come out with thier latest spindles-
They add 3" lift and extend the wheelbase 1 1/2" on each side!!! Just ordered mine, 5$500 without installation. But have a professional do the install, cause they are almost impossible to do by yourself.

On the Fabtech's,
Ive been in contact with those guys for almost 4 months now about the spindles. Two weeks ago they were due for release within 14 days..and after 14 days went by I called again (yesterday) and they said a minimum of another 30days! Im starting to wonder if they will ever come out! Fabtech's lucky i havent found another reliable package that will lift my trucks suspension 6+ inches..because it would be on my truck NOW and i'd be a happy camper. The BS release dates are getting VERY OLD Fabtech!!

For those of you wondering about the Fabtech spindle kit...
I went to Fabtech today and asked about their spindles. I was told they were having trouble with them putting too much pressure on the ball joints. For now they have decided not to release the spindles and have put the development on hold.

Dirtslinger,
Why don't you go with the Fabtech 3 1/2" a-arm kit and the bullseye 3" spindles? The guy I talked to at Fabtech said that setup works fine. In fact, I may eventually go with that setup.

Mixing the Fabtech with the Bullseye was my original plan. Right before I went for it I started asking about warantee's and the such. Both Fabtech AND Bullseye said they would not cover their parts when mixed with the other kit. Also the shop, ORW, that I was going to have do the install for me flat refused to do the lift for me! They said they couldn't get parts replaced via warrantee in case something broke and they cant be responsible for someone elses part failure. Ive read and heard from all over the place about the lower balljoint having tom much pressure and eventually failing when you mix the 3" spindle and 3.5" Fabtech kits. I know ALOT of guys are running this setup without problems but If a shop flat refuses to take my money AND has nothing else they are trying to sell me at the time..it brings concern to table,ya know? I plan on offroading the truck and hauling/towing heavy loads with it so a solid suspension is a must! Ive been VERY patiently waiting for Fab to come out with their reinforced spindles..but my patience is running thin to say the least. I just cant see how something so widely talked about (failure when mixing the kits) can be complete BS. Am i brainwashed?
