    alot soon. hopefully
    I just did my lift about a week and half ago. Spindles up front, 2in add a leaf in the rear and 5100's all around set at 0 with stock springs . Stock measurement from center hub were 21in up front and 23 in the rear. After lift I got 25in up front and 25 1/8in in the rear. It's settled at 25 up front and rear now. Perfectly leveled.

    I'm also running 265/70-17 tires and I think it looks just fine.. It looks really good in my opinion.

    Sounds like your truck might have been a little bit taller from the beginning. I thought most (including mine) measured in at 20" before the spindle lift. Already got your alignment done? Might settle some more down the road...

    I've got Camburgs w/5100s at .85. Instead of going to 1.75 on the 5100s I'm considering dropping the 5100s to 0 and replacing my springs w/Eibachs to get the additional .75 inches or so of lift I'm looking for.

    For those of you who've done similar, what do your camber and caster specs look like? Are you running stock UCAs? Thanks

    Stock Luca's will be fine. The eibachs give 1.6" lift.

    Well here is my concern - my current camber is at roughly .6 on both sides...not optimal IMO w/caster at about 2.0 on both sides. It looks like my rear cam eccentrics are almost maxed out. Front cams have a bit more adjustment left in them.

    I just don't want to swap out the springs to find out that I also need to replace my UCAs afterwards. If I can get away with stock UCAs I'll be happy.

    Are you running this setup? If so do you mind sharing your post alignment specs? Thanks

    Wow ok so you're at .85 on 5100s plus the Eibachs...a hair higher than I want, but if your alignment specs are ok then I should be fine lowering mine to 0 and adding Eibachs. Thanks for the feedback

    I'm sure thus question has been asked, but what is the max tire size you can fit with the spindle lift, billies all the way around, and an all pro leaf pack in the back... I know I'm wanting to run an 18" rim with these... Just trying to get tire size so I know what kind of money I'm gonna be spending

    Doh, I was hoping to put something bigger. Especially since you can put 285's on a 3" lift, I was hoping to get a little more of out this... Thanks for the info though

    i actually rubbed more with these spindles than with my spacer lift beacuse it kicks your tire out a bit so u rub more on the outside

    Well that's kind of a turn off... I wonder if I would just be better to pick up an OME 3" kit or something along those lines...

    well lift wise if this is probably the best way to lift your truck because your getting almost 4" and everything is at stock geometry, i dont regret the spindle one bit, i love them, beefy as hell(you can't imagine how beefy they are until u get the box in the mail lol) just trim a little and you will be fine unless you go like mt's then ull have alot of trimming,but the stance these spindles give you is amazing
