    Make sure to check the spring travel from the manufacturer you go with.
    700# + 16" coils can have under 8" of spring travel with no preload, meaning coil bind before your full travel, which wouldn't be nice to your coil buckets.

    There is a reason they are cheap, every set I've ever ran fatigued in no time.

    thats slightly different haha, but since you posted it all pro or someone desperately needs to design a gusset or tab to double sheer their heimed steering setup off the spindle. I also had issues with the outer bolt coming loose or rotating over time and wearing that angled bolt down when I had my AP kit. Luckily I never had one sheer but I think it was part of the reason I've gone through 3 steering racks.

    Great concept, poor execution IMHO

    Edit: SDHQ Designed and Built spindles to properly run a full heimed steering setup :thumbsup:

    Solo's are only for their kits aren't they? I would guess the same for dirt design as well. I think they are meaning a fabbed spindles that you can throw on basically any Tacoma.
