    You mentioned sometimes the shop can press it it wrong or incorrectly, which can result in early failure. Do you warranty your work? Or bearing for some period of time? If I install your bearing and it begins to make noise after a month for example? Or would that just be luck of the draw. In your experience how often can this occur? I understand you can't control every installation aim just wondering about return on investment. *** to be clear for everyone I have not ordered and this is not a complaint only enquiry as I will likely need a bearing again soon***

    Back to this again. Don't want to buy front wheel spacers if i don't HAVE to. Just buying the rear 1.25" spacers. Should i just get like 1" spacers for the front with the new wheels? @SpruceTaco @White Horse any thoughts?

    Well the spindles push each side out 3/4" so with 1.25 in the rear your fronts would only be 1/2" off, I don't think the naked eye could even see that difference to be honest. If you don't care about them being even and just want the fronts out farther well then sky's the limit on whatever amount you want to do. Just remember the bigger the spacer the more you'll rub the cab mount &/or outer edge of the fender.

    Confirmed my spindles & UCA's are being muled down here at the end of April. That's a long wait. Doing my CMC tomorrow morning to prep for 34's :sawzall::welder:

    What are the cons of using blocks? Everybody seems to be pretty much against them

    they're just not as stable as a full leaf pack. axle wrap gets worse and the ride is terrible

    I'm like many of you. Try to lay out a plan and have all the parts (maybe more) on hand and available, attempting to make one session of installation. I plan Dakars, but, trying to move forward, temporarily was installing AAL and blocks. I've used blocks in the past, they don't offend me.

    Once the AAL and blocks where installed ~ to tall at the rear. So the shop removed the AAL's. Now I'm blocks only (3") on stock rear leafs. I have the classic axle wrap, clunk when stopping, at the point I release the brakes to move forward. So, SAVE for spring packs..! The blocks, as all expect makes the wrap worse.

    It looks good, is drive-able. But I'm sure new leaf packs will have been the best option for me in the long run...

    I'll be moving up to 285's and leaf packs. Currently 265's / TRD 16" wheels no spacers front or rear, yet.

    •3” front blocks •2” steel rear blocks •1.25" spidertrax spacers for clearance •285/70/17 (33's) Ko2's •20% tint
    Have any of you done anything to make the lower control arm look a little beefier where its connected to the wheel. It just looks kinda weak...

    Couple questions: Anyone know if stock third gen TRD off road wheels and or maybe 2nd stock wheels fit the front spindles? (very temporary) So I can get to discount tire.

    Anyone selling a front spindle set in AZ before I buy new? :)

    Mostly need my first question answered. Thanks guys
