    Yes they won't work with the LT ... that's the impression I got. And I wouldn't want it with LT anyways ... To high
    input/output shaft bearing is going out

    Well if it works with Stock UCA/LCA etc, it should work fine with the TC LT kit. The Ameri-Motor LT Kit will have a new spindle (unlike the TC kit) so then you wouldn't need this spindle:cool:

    Either way I wouldn't run spindles on the LT cause I don't need that much lift

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    Cody, the ground clearance would help a lot out in Barstow, especially on the sections of the race course and the way I seen you wheel... You push your truck pretty hard...

    so run a spindle with zero preload and get lift from the spindle and your truck will be smooth with no preload on your shock.
    i just bought a new pump though:(

    HOOOOLLLLDDDD UUUPPP!!!


    And how come no one messaged me about this thread?!

    Im down like 4 flats on a cadillac for these spindles.

    By the way, if were running stock suspension with the fat bobs spacer is the ride going to be even stiffer?

    Also, why are we going to need after market breaks?
