    its not the spindles that cause it lol, midtravel you get a little bit more travel than stock suspension. But you wanna know why LT kits are +2 and +3.5" kits? because to get travel you need to lengthen the upper and lower control arm away from the coilover. All the spindles do is add lift, nothing to do with travel at all

    lol

    notice the difference in the upper control arms? to get the travel #'s you need for high speeds stuff, the only way to get it is to make the upper and lower control arms longer, thus also increasing the track width

    Long travel Upper and Lower CAs

    I see the difference....Is that why TC says you have to run glass fenders with the long travel kit?? Cause it pushes the wheel out so far it would rub like a biatch
