    never mind about this whole fucking thread. People with second gens and 2wd trucks are running me in circles. I have a 6" DB lift icon coilivers for the 6" application spc uca and 5" tuff country spindles, hence my title and first post why I want a spindle an inch taller! Please no more posts with irrelevant questions or comments.

    ...too much shit to list.
    So what DB lift do you have?
    And there's no such thing as 5" tuff country spindles. Tuff country supplies (and will sell separate) their spindles used with their 5" db lift. They are not 5" taller.

    It originally had the trail master 6" lift, if you know anything about it you'll understand why I have replaced everything - the new crossmembers.
    Spindles are tuff country part # 55900-01 and 55900-02 from this kit here. http://www.suspensionconnection.com/cgi-bin/suscon/54900.html
    I do know what I'm talking about, man. They are waaay bigger..look at the attached image. At least 5" taller..

    This whole thread could have been avoided had you just stated you had a TM lift to start with intead of hiding behind a "6 inch lift." You're fucked no matter what you do.

    Haha I'm not fucked everything is fine bro. And the TM is/was a 6" lift, what Am I hiding behind? Only thing that is TM is the drop bracket. Coilivers are ICON, UCA spc, spindles tuff country. If my spindle was an inch taller it would give me a little more flex out front, which was the topic of this discussion the whole time. Get mad n leave tho, thanks!
