On the TrucksTV show on TNN yesterday they installed a fabtech spindle lift and bigger tires. But the guys on the show said that the spindles gave the truck 3.5 inches of lift, when everything i have ever read about the fabtech spindles is that the give you 3 inches not 3.5. whats going on here? is fabtech going to make 3.5 inch spindles now or what?

JDM,

My fabtech spindles are second generation and lifted the front 3.5 inches. They also increased the track width by 3.5 inches.

JDM, in your signature you mention a homemade ram air system. How did you do that? How much hp did you gain?

Treadmarks is right, the new ones are 3.5" lifters. The old ones were the 3" jobs from Bullseye... new ones are much beefier, although mine weren't the "pretty" Fabtech blue ones like they used on the show.

What did you think of that pre-runner bumper? Wonder if you can get it in black...
