spindles and coilovers..??

Call up Camburg or send them an email. I mean there is more than a 1/4 inch of space between the spindle and tire.

 

Ok so I just took a ruler out and the closet it came was 1/2'' inch. I just don't want to say yes it will fit and then you get stuck with something that doesn't.

Man if you were local or ever down here in So Cal I'd let you test fit your rim/tire combo on my truck to see if it touches the spindle.

 

Oh god...where in Socal are you located??? ROADTRIP!? then disneyland....

 

Also, how hard was it to install the spindles?

 

Let's role LOL....!!!

 

mmm....bout 20min away from Disneyland. I live in Whittier.

I didn't do the install on the spindles though, I payed $200 and got spindles installed coilovers adjusted down and an alignment so I figured that was a good deal.

 

Dude it looks good.....

 

Indeed it will. funny yet tragic story..... I had the ABS line zip tied to the spindle. Apparently when turning the zip tie got pinched between the spindle and the wheel and cut it. So my line was hanging kinda loose and ended up on the front side of the spindle and was also pinched and severed in half..

So anyways now I have to fix that line on the drivers side.. If anyone is running this set up just be careful and make sure u have the abs line secured behind or on the side of the spindle.

 

How did you know it was cut before u checked it...??

 

Because my ABS light on the dash randomly turned on

 

Nothing wrong with the TC spindles but the price. But if your going to get coilovers, set low, and spindles you might want to consider buying the heim joint uca's from total chaos instead of the urethane bushing uca's. Just speaking from personal experience.

 

coo thanks.... Well im gonna keep at 1" with the coil-over.... Is that a good idea still...???

 

I have my Icon's set at about .5 inch of lift and I am having some alignment issues with my current uca's. If you run spindles and coilovers, you should look into a adjustable uca. If not you can buy my used TC uca's in the for sale forum. Sorry for the jack.

 

For sure how much..??? And how bad is the alignment...???? One more thing y are u gettig rid of your UCA..???

 

They are $475+ shipping but there is one member commited on here but if he falls through, you can have them if still interested. My alignment is ok but could be better. I need adjustable uca's thats why I am getting rid of the ones I have.

 

Alright well thanks for the offer... And the info as well....

 

Have been trying to decide what route to take to lift higher than my present 3".Originally was going to go Fabtec,but after reading rumors of them going out of business & months of backorders,decided against that.ProComp is still an option.I have a Prerunner & was also looking at this way of spindles & coil overs,but am not sure I like what I'm reading.I'm looking for 6" of lift & I was thinking Camburg spindles & adjustable coilovers,but seems like I'm reading don't crank em over .5" & my TC uca's won't work?Am I getting this right?I don't really wheel any except the occassional field or powerline trail,mainly just cause I like the looks of the taller lift.Anyone out there getting 6" of lift using spindles & coilovers & using TC uca's or stock uca's or would PC be my better option?

 

One of my friends that got the spindles before I did has a setup somewhat like what you're describing. He had the Donahoe Coilovers cranked up to 3'' with Camburg UCA and then got 4'' spindles installed. So he was driving around with about 7'' of lift in the front. He has an aal in the rear but in no means did that even get it close to sitting level.

This past week after having it like that for over year he finally adjusted the coilovers down to about 5.5-6'' of lift. It's still big, and I think he needs to either get a new leaf pack or throw a block in the back because it has a little too much of the bro stance.

He says he hasn't had any problems with his alignment with the Camburg UCA. I stayed with the stock UCA because I have my coilovers adjusted around 1''.

 

Just get the Camburg Long Travel Kit. You will have alot more fun with it and a better ride. Im saving my pennies for my kit with the new Fox/Camburg Resi-Coilovers. 15" of useable wheel travel. I love off-roading so this fits all of my needs. I can rock- crawl, desert run and still go mudding at the end of the day. You will also get a nice on road ride. Good luck on your shoice and remember to have fun and take pics.

 

No you have it backwards, you need to crank up your coilovers to at least 2 inches or more to properly use the TC uca's. The uca's are designed to correct alignment issues associated with 3 inch lifts. So you should be fine if you want 6 inches of lift using spindles.

If this does not make sense you should research spindle lifts more and see how they work. And/or call Camburg or Total Chaos
