O.K., I need to know what you guys with the 3" spindle lift paid for the kits and where. I'm getting sporadic quotes from retailers and I need some input!! Thanks in advance, Doc

I saw an ad in truckin mag-DJM is the company and I could have sworn it was around $300 for the 3 inch spindles. I will check it and make sure.

Wow...if the 300 dollar thing is real then I'll bet alot of people would be tempted in buying them. Cause I've had it quoated around 1060 to get them installed and out the door...this seem right. Their breakdown was....550 for spindles, 250 for install, 120 for the cams, 100 to install and 40 for the rear blocks.

The $300 spindle thing is a bunch of *****. The company has been advertising these spindles for our trucks for over a year now, and every time someone calls about the F-150 spindles the company says that they do not make them yet. Bullseye spindles are the same as the Fabtech spindles, minus the "Fabtech Blue" powder coat. Mine were $800 installed at Custom MotorSports in Riverside, CA. The best place I have found to get the spindles is Camburg. ( www.camburg.com ) They sell the Bullseye Spindles for $499 I think. They also have fabricated their own spindles for our trucks. These guys know their *****. I am going to buy my "other 3 inches" of lift from them in the form of their A-arm, coil, and shock kit. They use parts that are made specifically for their kit, but from some VERY recognizable manufactuers (check out their catalog). Also, ilmagill, try just the spindles before you get any of the other stuff. You might not need it. I did not get any alignment cams, nor did I get blocks in the rear, and the truck looks great (would look even better if the pictures I have didn't suck, but that will change tomorrow).

Sorry about that last posting!!
AIM has 2 ways to lift it. WWW.TRUCKN.COM
One way is control arms & coil for $449.
They have the spindles-you will have to e-mail or call them for a quote.
