American Motorsports is a rip off

Parts for 6 lugs cheap? I think it's easier to find used parts for cheap but not new.

 

their parts are cheaper than ours

 

Like what?

 

Well for example. a 3" lift for a 6 lug can range from $300 - 1500 where as our kits are 325 for a spacer and thousands for coils. and we are extremely limited to lift kits. and again a 3" lift for us barely puts us at stock height of a prerunner so essentially we would need a 6" lift to acheive a 3" look of a 6 lug

 

Not bad, same price range as the 6-lug spindles

Will be very interested it what you come up with for the 6-Lugs

 

Wish I would have got a six lug

 

Don;t ever say that again! be proud

 

Haha don't get me wrong I love my truck it's just frustrating how the aftermarket for them is so scarce

 

Hey Matt how do you like your rear setup compared to the stock setup? Is there much difference?

 

I know some of you are bummed about the price and i totally understand. I cant afford to work on my truck either and i own a fab shop. Some may feel that my prices might be a little steep. Im trying to make all my parts affordable for all but i refuse to cut corners or use lesser quality materials. Remember suspension is the key component to your saftey, and everyone else. I dont want to be responsible for someones injury or death. Im a paramedic also and ive seen peoples lives turned upside down but death, it happens every day and its uncontrollable at that. I can make sure you are safe driving down the highway or dirt. When i build suspension related components i ONLY us the best. Why because its SAFE!!!!!! And even using the best quality material there is still risk of breakage and uncontrollable fatgiue. Nothing is 100%, but i can improve the odds and stack them in mine and your favor. Remember the most of us drive 95% on the street and maybe if your lucky 5% in the dirt. So it has to last and be build strong. The reason why no one is making a lift spindle for the 5 lug is due the machining nessecary to us the stock wheel hub. It has a one piece bearing that has to be pressed in and retaining clip to hold it and 2 seals front and rear. I dont know if you guys have seen the pics i posted of the hub. It started as a 4in solid piece and was machined down. It has tight tolerances for the new bearings, a machined grove for the c-clip and tight tolerances for both front and rear bearings. Plus 2 machined bugs for the lower balljoint cross bracket. Then a machined block for the upper uniball bolt. Then theres the 4130 3/16 plate that is water jet cut and then cnc bent. Then i have to weld it all together in a jig fixture, plus Im installing it for free. Plus theres 2 sides so take that price in your head you just came up with and double it. The 6-lug spindles that solo motorsports is doing is a machined block that a sealed bearing and hub assembly unit bolts to that machined block, a flat piece with holes drilled and tapped. No tight tolerances, no seals no new bearings pressed in. They us the same material 4130 plate, plus welding and so on. BUT theres are atleast 1395 or more (not sure). Its a great product and a high quality part. Trust me im not going to get rich off you guys even if you bought 20 sets from me. Im not trying to ripp you off im just trying to keep you and everyone else safe.

 

HUGE DIFFERENCE. When i had just the front coils on cranked out and the rear trd shocks the ride was bumpy as hell. I threw the rear icons on and omg the ride is fucking butter.

Brian, you are a good man!

I understand exactly what is required and that is why i stand firm in my choice to buy these spindles.

Take it from me - I had to do some modification to my brake caliper and that was hell.. this guy is a saint!

 

I totally understand and thank you man! We appreciate your honesty and integrity. Thanks by the way what's up 5lugtaco?!

 

I don't even have a 5-Lug but I want to see this spindle

 

Nice! Can't wait to get my rear setup. Did you ever get your gears installed? Whatsup p8ntballa! How do you like your new setup? Did you get them how u wanted or are they still stiff?

 

i think this is a very fair price its about the same price as the 6lug spindles...it does suck that there are such limited options for our truck

 

You pay for TC and burgs name ... Like I said a 1000
Is
To much IMO to spend
Befor LT. that's why I'm
Out . After my LT then I will consider this

 

Yea that's the plan... When ? Idk
Lol

 

I am thinking that it's a great price in comparison to the limited stuff that's out there for our 5 luggers. I wish I could do it right now. Just strapped right now trying to buy a house & open a restraunt for my mother in law.

 

Soo....whats the update? It's been too quite on this thread and I'm extremely anxious to grab a set and drive to you for install. Your our 5 lug hope lol

 

too quiet *
