    I said wilwoods are going to be used on my truck for now to test the spindle out. While I'm testing them Brian is going to be making a new set that stock calipers work with. I also said wilwoods will be an OPTION. Meaning the set that had already been made will be sold to you if you want to run aftermarket calipers. The new spindles in the works will be sold to people that want to use stock calipers. Where in my post did I say wilwoods are mandatory? I am going to be using wilwoods, these spindles are still in production so why would you tell someone you HAVE to get new calipers when the final product is not even available yet??

    If you romp it, Alex plans on using these with stock Uca and struts. Don't think he is going to put his truck through enough to where soa would be a problem. Just throwin out an inexpensive idea, as opposed to all pro leaf pack or deaver. Those would just be overkill.

    For people that just want lift, why the hell would you get a body lift? I wouldn't but it's just for lift. I was just throwin out an option, I didn't say to do it

    to do the SOA and get a body lift you would be spending about the same amount of money for a rough ride conversion as a better SUA leaf pack with decent lift

    i know neslerrah has and he said it rode super nice but it actually dropped his rear end a little so he took it off. Doesn't make sense to me, but i know there are no problems doing it.

    I was correcting his spelling more than anything, I couldnt give much less of a shit to know how far in production you are, as of right now you said YOU need aftermarket brakes. Once again I was going off your post which isnt too clear. Dont blame me when 3 or 4 people misread what you write

    Rough ride conversion? Why couldn't you just spend a 100 bucks on 6 lug leafs and relocate spring perch and shock mounts? And then get some billies. If you had someone do it I could see it being big bills. But if you have a welder? Now that I think of it though just seems like too much a pita. But if you decided to go through with it you could get away with the soa for like what 300?

    Clearly I was correcting his spelling more than anything. And clearly I have a 6 lug so these spindles are of no use to me. As the OP stated a few pages back, some people need to deflate their internet muscles. I have been here just to see the progress because some people like to pass information on to others that are interested. But less exposure is fine with me
