Re: cheap drop spindles?

Do u have 1 in brakes?

Biggest thing to look for when buying spindles is shaft displacement and steering knuckel thickness. Groundforce makes the strongest steering knuckels u can find but theyre 400.

I WOULD NOT TRUST MY BABY / SAFTEY/GIRFRIENDS SAFTEY AND ONE DAY CHILDS SAFTEY ON 150 doller spindles. IT IS NOT WORTH IT,

Ill say it again DONT CHEAP OUT ON SAFTEY!!!!!!!!!!

GO WITH JDM SPINDLES OR GROUNDFORCE AND USE NAPA BALL JOINTS OR SUMMITS ADJUSTABLE BALL JOINTS. My old kragen ball joints snapped ( driver side upper) it sent me 90degrees in the middle of the road. Skme one upstairs was looking after me because i was 100 ft from the freeway. I dont have a roll cage and chances are i woulda rolled.

SAVE UR MONEY !!! Low and dangerous VS tall and alive. U choose.

If you want to figure things out the hard way be my guest. But please don't drive your truck on a public road ever again and be responsible for not endangering everybodys else's lives.

Unfortunately for my friend we found out too late his were Chinese. Very luckily nobody got hurt and it broke on a gentle and slow turn

Re: cheap drop spindles?

By the time you add their $50 for shipping they're not really a very good deal. I only paid $260 shipped for Mcgaughys, you can get CPP for not much more in the Vendor Marketplace on here.

Re: cheap drop spindles?

Westin Chassis make a decent spindal. I have a set on my truck. I've not had any problems with them.

Re: cheap drop spindles?

I appreciate the advice guys haha. Im only looking into cheaper spindles because Im on a low budget. The local grocery store is single handedly paying for my truck. It seems like mcgaughys 2.5 spindles are not that bad but im not sure if they will fit my 15x8 rallys

I have 2.5in McGaughys with rallys. They fit but you need to grind a little off of the front leading edge of the lower control arms.
