fabtech spindle observation
well i have had the truck lifted now for almost 2 months and have driven about 1000 miles in that time and i love the feel and the look of a lifted ranger but i have noticed a few things... in rain it seems like i don't have any brakes... is this because i don't have any shields on the disk? in dry weather it stops perfectly fine anyone else noticed this?

Maybe try a different pad? Mine are fine and I'm in about the same configuration.
The brakes are less effective with the big tires though, and I think that is magnified in the rain more than it would be. Maybe our trucks are the same, but I don't see it as severe after operating this way for so long -- you know, you kind of get used to something after awhile.

I can have some made locally.
get a length and pics of the fittings and it will prolly be around 100 bucks.
I doubt its the shields as I had mine installed on this axle and when we did the gears we took them off and I have not noticed anything.
