Lift Spindles

I have just recently realized that I have a pair of 3 inch lift spindles on my 2wd F150. Its too bad I found this out when I was putting my lowering kit on. Anyways, I have only found a few different brands that actually make these spindles. I also noticed that these spindles widened my track width up front. So I am fixing to be swapping them out for some stock spindles and I am wondering a few things. Do all the brands push the wheels out a tad? What is the demand for these things? Once I get them off and clean them up I am hoping to find a part number or some kind of identification stamped on them to know what I actually have. So what do you guys think would I be able to get these things sold pretty easy?

I think all lift spindles widen the track width some, but some widen it more than others. You may be able to find a member willing to swap you a set of OEM spindles.

I actually had a front clip with some stock spindles. I pulled it apart today and got the stocks cleaned up ready to go on. I was kinda shocked when I realized thats what was on my truck. I'm just wondering how easy it will be to find someone wanting to lift there 2wd. But obviously there is some demand for these things.

Put 'em up on Craigslist or something. You should be able to get a few bills for 'em depending on the brand/condition of course.

And as Wandell said, most lift spindles are 1.5 over or more, but that's just the nature of lift spindles since the snout is 3.5" lower than the factory spindle, so it has to be pushed out a little so it still clears a bunch of stuff.
