    Well, I had the money ready for my spindles but my wife need it for an emergency. So I have to start all over again. I don't know about those from Ebay, but I saw a set in Amazon selling for $400 and they looks pretty good to me. Why women don't understand that guys need to modify their trucks? :)

    Does anyone know why there is only 4" and 6" spindles available? Why not 2" or 3"?

    Maxtrac only makes 4"

    The "6" inch ones are just a spacer along with the spindles I do believe

    Probably you are correct! But the question is still the same; Is not possible to build 2" or 3 " lift spindles?

    I'm pretty sure Camburg or Total Chaos makes a 3.5" one

    Cheaper & easier to swap springs & shocks to achieve 0-3" of lift. Does that route alter suspension geometry? Certainly. But 99% of drivers won't care about reduced down-travel from doing that.

    Yep, but then you need to replace the OEM ucas for some aftermarket ucas, so the lift in not longer cheap. The special "enchantment" behind the spindles is the fact that you can use the stock ucas and still have an almost perfect alignment. At least that's what I think, but I may be wrong.

    You're right. Just get Maxtrac spindles and Dakar leafs and be done with it.

    It's a good kit that you can run for a long time with no issues and add to it if you want.

    Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and get the "ChadsPride" kit

    Essentially:

    1. Maxtrac 4" Spindles (comes with extended brake lines for the front)
    2. Dakar Leaf Packs (full packs will give 3" and flex very well on the trail)
    3. Extended rear brake lines
    4. Extended rear Bilstein shocks
    and you can always add things like Ubolt flips kits and upgraded bump stops (I did both)
