spindle install pics?
Anyone have any pics of a spindle install?
I thought I saw a few a couple of months ago, but I searched and I can't find any. I'm going to be installing some myself this weekend and would love a couple of pics, thanks guys.

go with 32s youll be happier... not bad at all on gas... the spindle lift is not too difficult for first timers, ujst BE PATIENT and dont get frustrated.. the hardest part is the drilling and taking those old spindles off

some grinding of the lower control arm is needed and for god sakes never use a floor jack to press in balljoints!!!

try using a large hammer and smack the spindle where the balljoint stud passes through, leave the nut on the balljoint at the last threads so when the spindle pops loose it dosen't hit your foot

sounds good. so there really is nothing else i need (specialty tool-wise). I bet given time i could probably do this, and I will definitely take pics and do a write- up when i'm done.
