    Im building the prototype tomorrow but it will be a 3in lift spindle. That bolts on. All you stock parts will bolt on. Hub, brakes, calipers, speed sensor everything. You will have the option on the steering side. 1) with be stock tappered balljoint. 2)upgraded heim joint on the spindle side only. 3)full heim steering from rack to spindle. option #2 and #3 will be an addition cost. All material used is 3/16 4130 plate and 4in 1018 solid bar that is CNC machined for the stock bearings, stock front and rear seals and rear hub cap. Each spindle is then fixture mounted and welded. Then the spindles are remachined and honed for proper bearing tolerances. This spindle will work with an stock 05 and up 5 lug tacoma, total choas uppers with replacement coilovers, total choas mid travel ("long travel") and AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS full true long travel kit soon to be released on Stupidhurts tacoma.

    P.S. Each spindle is made in AMERICA and by an AMERICAN who owns AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS!:amen:
