6" lift spindles

wild... well, if you want to keep the height, and the drop brackets are in good condition, i would go with custom spindles and King shocks... or the Fabtech spindles like Underfire mentioned above... where do you live? maybe someone could refer you to a known shop...

 

I feel like I've seen this pic many times before.

Is this your pic or did you grab it off the web?

Either way, if this is yours, or this is what yours looks like: Run away. Those spacer things on the spindles are about the worst possible design (likely why the company is no longer in business).

 

Just for reference here's what the ProComp 4" setup was when I had it first installed (early 2000s)...then a buddy found someone selling a used set of King coilovers (couple yrs later) that was made especially for the ProComp kit so it done away with the shock spacer. I need to call King to see if they can still service it. Would be nice to get it rebuilt.

 

So was that a trailmaster kit that you fixed if so please tell me how and where ?

 

Most people end up "fixing" it by completely tearing it out and starting from scratch. It is really a terrible design.

 

I know I'm just trying to fix it for under 500

 

For converting back to "stock", the sticking point is usually the front crossmember. That usually gets cut up to instill these lifts (not atypical for a bracket style lift).

What is wrong with it (aside from the overall poor design, lol)?

 

Both of the struts are blown and the mounts are blown out . so im thinking about getting the VW struts and mounts but the have to be machined and inverted I wish someone had pics on this .

 

Or details on how to do it .

 

I was looking at that mess earlier. You poor bastard. Here in the North East you can’t find these trucks in the boneyards. I feel for you, keep us posted... lol

 

I hear ya im in PA home of the pothole.

 

Wish i had the money to redo my drop-bracket setup. (sigh). hahaha!
