doetsch spindles

http://www.doetsch-shocks.com/9.asp

How are these? Just shoppin around and heard that this is a very good brand and makes quality products can any one else back that up?

Also i think they just sale the spindles so what else am i going to need to finish a spindle ift on my 01 screw?

Also i have 32s on my truck so how will that look with a 3 inch suspension. I just got these tires bfg AT's. Do u think they will be way to small?

thanks alot!!

You will need either a lift block or more leafs for the rear and 4 new shocks. Also an alignment when your finished. I think thats about it.

i have 32s but instead of a suspension lift i have a bodylift.

here is a website that has lift blocks. um for shocks you could get the rancho 5000's at advance autoparts for 50 bucks a piece.

Could someone explain how to install the rear block? Is it hard at all? I wouldnt think so but im not sure. Also tare the spindles hard to install? I plan on me and a few friends installing it on a weekend or somethin.

Thanks!

the blocks are not hard to install. its just that you have to get the rear of the truck high enough so that when the suspension drops there is enough room to put the blocks between the leafs and the axle. best place to jack it would be under the leafs but its real tricky so the jack dont fall out. for the spindles just read the instructions. when i did my leveling kit i had to take my spindles off. for the spindles you will need a fork for the tie rods and the upper control arm. you can get them at autozone. if dont undestand about the forks just ask the guy at autozone and they will know.

plz post pics when done.

Local Off Road shops located in North County San Diego and Riverside CA, who carry Doetsch, do not recommend them. Apparenty, Doetsch does not honor their warranty and does not return phone calls. I asked about the Doetch 6" kit, but the manager from the shop highly recommends not purchasing the kit.

Read Doetsch warranty info and then call and ask about it. Bet you will not talk to anyone but the female answering the phone who claims to be the Tech advisor, Warranty Advisor, Receptionist, and so on. Buyer Beware!!!
