    So I've been working hard to make the stock caliper fit. But I think I have it set in place where it will work the best. Here is a teaser pic.

    The spindles have been slow going, thanks David for your patiences. My lady just had my second child, last Friday. We had a boy so now I can teach my son all my secrets. Last week the shop was down due to the delivery but I've been working till 1 in the morning all week just to get caught up with these projects. The spindles are being cut as we speak and I'll have them on a truck by monday. There will be pics, video and a report for you guys so you can start saving for these spindles. I know you'll want a set. I'm currently in the process of building a 4 link for a 2006 5 lug Tacoma. We are keeping the bed so it's going to be a sleeper. I'll start a new thread on that later today or tomorrow. Bare with me guys as American Motorsports takes over the 5 lug market!!!!!!!
