    I think that mostly has to do with the spindle, not so much the arms, but I may be wrong

    I would like to down the road

    Well with 4wd lift spindles are imposable unless you find a magic set of portal axles that don't suck for your trucks. But as I told nofords I would like to build a kit that's 4wd capable

    Its only 2.75" wider than stock
