    On the Doetsch site, it shows 3 different heights for the same part number (3", 3.5", 4")!! Anybody know how much lift these spindles really give? Because if it is just 3", I'll probably end up buying the cheaper spindle kit (fabtech's or doetsch's).

    Here's what it says on different parts of their site.

    Yep, all 95.5-04 5-lug lift spindles only offer 3" and no more. The rest is either body lift or heavier springs.
