    You would think that the extra width from the spindles it would require them but I really have no idea I have never considered it an option.

    correct, these would just be a strength upgrade, and very similar in dimensions to the stock spindles.

    Only for pre '05 tacomas. I'm looking for a guinea pig for an '05+

    extended Titan axles.

    yeah, this frontier!

    I have not done a 4x4 yet. I can and will, cost would be $1600 + whatever the axles wind up costing (probably around $700-$800) I can go talk to the axle guy to get a better, more exact number if I get someone that's a serious buyer. Since it's a little wider than TC, it should get about another inch or two of travel.
