    Might be pre-fabbed spindles they have excess of. I don't see a sale for spindles that low that they haven't made yet...maybe I'm wrong...

    One thing is for certain, I learned my lesson going the cheap route on truck stuff. And yes, I tried to use ZZR as a fab guy for a bit...worst mistake I've made to date.

    Do yourself a favor and go for known fabricators with experience.

    They look like a fabtech or other lift spindle with some gussets on them. Which most a re cast, and if they are not a skilled welder that has all the right stuff to weld to cast, it can be bad. Very bad.

    There is a thread on DR of a few people who have used Custom Tube works spindles and they have snapped in half or the steering arm of it ripped off. CTW did replace them, but just sketchy IMO.

    Ahh I see. What would I be looking at for a set from a more professional shop? I'm having a hard time finding people who can make spindles easily, ie have a jig or set already
