    Lol. So, just to be 100% certain, removing the 3 nuts off the top will not decompress the coil? Only the center nut will?

    Headstrong only warranties for 60 days and after 30 you only get store credit. Quality suspensions have a lifetime warranty and are 100$ less. I feel like the Amazon ones would be a much better deal. or s there some kind of lifetime warranty for headstrongs?

    As @Pushincaskets put it :facepalm:.
    Why aren't you looking at the Maxtrac warranty? Headstrong is just a distributor.
    Copied from Maxtrac's site. You want to buy knock offs be my guest.

    WARRANTY


    Limited Lifetime Warranty is extended to the full line of MAXTRAC SUSPENSION, to be free from defects in workmanship and materials. MAXTRAC’s obligation is limited to repair or replacement at MAXTRAC’s discretion. MAXTRAC’s Warranty does not cover any costs incurred due to the installation or removal of products, towing costs, freight costs, rental vehicles, or incidental or associated costs.

    I'm not excited, don't need to calm down. You quoted me & I answered your question. I was

    Sorry you'll have to understand the mindset here. It's always funny when people ask advice, get great advice based on proven in use experience from reputable users @SpruceTaco on this board who have repeatedly seen quality feedback about reputable vendors @HeadStrong Off-Road . And then challenge the advice all because they claim they will save $100 with some unknown Amazon store somewhere. Cause yes the fact that they state they have a lifetime warranty means SQUAT.
    But hey @machotaco2012 their you're bills, spend em how you see fit. But don't question the :crapstorm: when you take that approach.

    I'm late to the game of posting. But I have to say I have enjoyed the spindle setup since it has been done. Just waiting on getting new tires and it will be good for a while.

    Well put Mike! :thumbsup:
    Another thing is yes they have a lifetime warranty but how is customer service? Will they honor it or give you the run around? Like you said Maxtrac & Headstrong are proven here, worth the extra hundred to me.
    Also what about materials?
    And they are a complete rip off from the looks right down to the description & I wouldn't support a company like that, come up with your own design.

    Lmao. comes in asks about said product gets shown why headstrong is used and proves he isnwron about warranty? Am I on the right track @SpruceTaco ?

    If so @machotaco2012 don't ask for help in this thread if you're going to act like that.

    I heard you can run those Amazon spacers with those Amazon spindles? What kind of back space is that?

    Without a compressor you mean? I rather do it that way too and save myself driving to a shop to have them remove spring. I only need to set the 5100 back to stock height. Not sure if it's going to be any different with the shocks on max setting currently ?

    You mean different between max & 0?
    If so then yes, your ride should get better.
