    Not worth it, either buy his LT kit or go with any kind of generic lift spindle you can find; Downey/Fabtech/Doetsch.

    its not like they are spending 40+ hours a week on just spindles, he has other work to do as well. if they are a grand, he will make money eventually. these are fully fabbed spindles that have been put through their rounds. they are well worth the money.

    This would be my fault. Brian has been in contact with me this whole time and wondering when we would be able to get the LT kit done, but I've just been really busy with work, school, and my internship. Best part is that Brian has been understanding this whole time and I am very appreciative about that. I can assure everyone that you won't be disappointed in the quality and attention to detail Brian puts in all of his work at American Motorsports. I apologize for the delay and lagging.

    On another note, I'm glad 5LUGTACO will be getting his mid-travel spindles on soon. :thumbsup:
