    No regrets whatsoever. Two quick thoughts: I didn't buy spacers for the rear but I will soon. Don't like the staggered look. Also primer, rattle-can paint, and clear coat the spindles. If you don't, the iron will oxidize and look like crap. Make sure you spray ALL of the spindle; I forgot the very top where the UCA ball joint slips into and I had to go back and primer & repaint it because it was brown/orange from oxidation. I used high temp black Rustoleum FYI.

    So when you say paint all of the spindle do you mean the machined areas as well? I just got mine on Monday but won't be installing them until I get the rest of my stuff & was thinking about painting them anyway.

    Sorry, I should have made that a little clearer. I taped off all machined areas of the spindle prior to painting.

    WOOHOO!!! Just purchased the MaxTrac 4" spindle kit today(spindles,2 rear shocks and 2"blocks for $650 shipped). I cant wait until they get here! I have the pro comp 2 3/4"leveling kit on mine right now(1"block rear) and i plan on taking that off when i put the spindles on. I'm getting a 2" aal and will try to keep my 1" block instead of using the 2". Do you think i will get an inch or so higher with the spindle lift then what i have now? I dig the stance i have now but would love to get just a little higher. I love this site!!

    I just talked to a TW member who happens to live down the road from me and i will be getting his used set of Adj 5100's on O/R springs for the front of mine. I think that those set at 1.75 with the spindle lift I should be at the height I'm looking for. Might have to run the 2" blocks and aal in rear if lower (until i can get an All Pro set up).

    Yeah as I was reading the middle pages of this thread i realized there was a couple other places that have it for a little cheaper. Oh well now i know. I just got a set of adj 5100's with OR coils from k9cop (lives down the road) for dirt cheap!! Thanks man!!! Im stoked to have these things to put on my truck when i do the spindle lift.
    i have a couple questions. Does anyone know how the ride will differ from using regular sport coils from Off-Road coils? Little rougher ride with OR coils? Also If i need to get a driveshaft spacer and /or cb drop spacer(which from what i've read i will need to get) can i drive it until i get the spacers or will it mess my shit up? I can use washers for cb temporarily correct? Thank you guys this site and thread is full of so much info!!
