    Look up Bmiller's & Socalrunners setups with the engage Race Spindle w/ 8" C/O and stock coil buckets. They sit almost the same as that truck. Giving the impression it had a Race spindle since it still had stock coilbuckets I assumed people wouldn't try to stuff in a 10" C/O doesn't make much sense :notsure:

    That is an engage race spindle with a custom engine cage lowering the front end down, the fact that it has a race spindle is almost irrelevant, since it would work with stock spindles just sit kind of stink bug. :cool:

    Anybody out there want to trade me some 6.5 flares and bumper caps gel coated black for some 4.5 flares with no caps, they are glassworks and I just got them want to go a different route. Lost my Germany orders so i don't need them to cover the wheels anymore. Bumper caps weren't even mounted.

    (Buddy's truck) Stock spindle of the left..600 lb coil..(My truck) Race spindle on the right..500 lb coil..

    The coil is just under tension..no preload..
    I could possibly fit a slider and a tender coil on the coilover..(but if I did that I would drop the spring rating on the longer coil and do a stiffer tender coil..if that makes sense..)

    It seems like its a hit and miss with FOAs from what I've read. Some are screwed up from the factory and seem to leak all the time and some other people are happy with them.

    Can somebody measure the dimensions of the uniball adapter and how far apart the bolts are for me? Trying to see if they will fit:

    The bolts are gonna be the same...just the the thickness is what we need....I had a pic of a guy with a double shear spindle and the burg. kit....you could see he had a spacer to fit the adapter in the mounts

    Ok WTF! Are these just two tabs welded to the top of the coil bucket for the upper mount? The other truck i posted with the dual rates had the same thing. Am i tripping out or is this how all of them are? I thought it was a flat plate using those three bolts
