    Hey I’m new here and I’ve been looking everywhere for a front lift for my 2wd 5 lug first gen and I can’t find anything besides tiny spacers for above the coil springs or just a body lift, anybody have any sources or solutions?

    Spindle lift is going to be (IMO) the best way to get a few inches of lift. I have a set on my 96 5 lug. The only issue I had was the spindles caused the front tires to stick out. 1.5" spacers in the back matched pretty good.

    Would you be able to give me a link to one? The only ones I could find are either back ordered or out of stock

    Yeah I’ve looked at a lot of them and the only thing I’ve found are spindle lifts that are all out of stock and tiny spacers that won’t give me the clearance I need

    Doetsch Tech and Fabtech make the same cast spindle. Email them n see when they plan to have more. Doetsch Tech makes a kit with uca, coil, n spindle. V6 coils will level it out. Can get used oem coils or new moog ones. Moog has a few different ones.

    Spindle should be $300-400 new. With a spindle alone you won't need aal or anything for the rear. If rubbing is the issue you do the pinch weld mod, trim your fenders, or fiberglass fenders

    I couldn’t fine the spindle alone maybe I’m just looking in the wrong spot tho. And I thought about just Rolling or cutting out the fenders and doing flares I might do that
