    TC spindles give 3.5 inches not 4 inches. And as far as the benefits of spindles, the extra lift is the least impressive thing about them. You can get spacers and body lifts, just for lifts. The way the spindles keep the stock geometry and suspension travel are the biggies. With spindles you get the ability to have more travel than with any brand of coil, spacer, coil-over or adjustable shock lift alone. Especially when you pair up the spindle with some nice coilovers and uca's. Long travel is the next step up from spindles. And if you have a 4X4 none of the spindle ideaology matters anyways.

    I believe the Camburg spindles are 4" of lift.

    Are your coilovers adjustable? The lift from the coilovers is in addition to the spindle lift. My front set-up, for example, can be at 3.5"-7" inches and everything in between by adjusting the coilovers. So unless you want 6"+ of lift up front you will need adjustable coilovers if you run the spindles. I hope that makes sense

    4x4's cannot use the spindle lift from TC or Camburg. And no I am 2wd.

    I like my setup much more now than when I had OME coils and Toytec spacers.

    New to forums and been hanging around reading threads pertaining to issues that I have with my ride. I am blown away with the info. Good job everyone! I just picked up my 2005 and was trying to level up the front because it is too low compared to back. I carry some payload sometimes as far as tools for construction and materials. But will spindles keep my ride when lifting compared to say a set of 5100's around or coiloverz. This off-road suspension thing is kinda involved as far as set up. Thanks for any help
