Spindles and Wheels Ordered
 

Well, I did it, I ordered my spindles, AAL's, and cragar black D window wheels. Wasn't too expensive to boot!

I need some tires now!!!

Probably pick up buckshots when the funds are back in order!

June 1st should be the date I get the tires.

Wahoo!!! i'm exited

sweet...kinda makes me jelious....

You make me Jealous as Hell. I want spindles, scratch that, I need spindles bad. Where did you order them from, and how much if you don't mind telling?

dang gomit. yeah, where did you order the stuff and what brand of spindles. Also, I would check supercenter walmart for the tires first in pompano.

which ones did u get fabtech?

sweet.

i think he was going to get doestech(sp?) if i remember right

Doetsch....I think.

Anyway...ITS ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME, MAN!!!

Geewhiz.

Ricky, you ordered that set for me right? When should I be expecting it? J/K. Let's see some pics. of when you are installing it.

Congrats on the purchase, its gonna look good.

I'm pretty sure you got the Doestch spindles but I'm curious what AAL's ya got and from where.

I think I'm going to buy my lift in stages too or else I'll never get enough for everything.

Good job!

Sorry for leavin ya in the dark guys!

I ordered from Suspension Max. The same company as doetesh, pro comp, and that ebay company. They are on EBAY, but there was a little confusion as to wich product it was (regular or edge) so I e-mailed the guy and he said it was better to buy from the site itself because they specify EDGE spindle or regular spindle.

It came to 377.xx with tax/shipping. Quite expensive, but ebay was 355 and it came with a 2" block (which i don't want to run!) so I figured that 20 dollars was worth the piece of mind!!!


I got summit AAL's (they were 30 dollars or so) and I got the cragar black d window wheels (15x8 5 on 4.5 4" BS) and I'm going to just paint my stock caps black to match, maybe leave em chrome.

I'll be installing as soon as I get tires, I usually have tuesdays/wednesdays off so it will be on one of those days, probably tuesday so if I run into any probs I can finish wednesday.

I'm looking at getting buckshots, I just have to figure out the $ situation because I don't know how much it will be to mount/balance, etc.

Haha...If I only had enough money.


I'll snap plenty of pics, I may even do a more detailed how-to (there is none IIRC) for the people who are iffy about the install.

I've done spindles before, just not on a ranger (chevy drop spindles)

I've heard that its a good idea to run drop shackles too...you gonna do that?

A detailed how-to would be great! For those like myself who has never done it and don't want to pay for the labour.

edit: NM, I didn't buy them....

I don't know if I want to lift the rear down that much, I like the pre-runnerish look (ass down). I'll see how things are when it is done. I'll be installing pretty soon.

dang ur truck is gonna look sick as hell, cant wait to see pics

Thanks man...there will be plenty of pics!

After I lift we ought to have another south florida meet!!!

^ you gonna get new subs?

Subs? No, I still have my type r's if you thought I sold em to buy my lift.

I'm going to be getting another amp...but shhhh, thats on the DL :wink:

going to look good....bring it up here to central fl and come play with us at rancho...matt knows first hand..plus im sure you seen the pics n vids.

ugh dude, two things: get the shackles and lift the rear pre-runner here in Fl would look as out of place as a rock crawler in the dunes. and change the order on those wheels to the 10.5" wide

I don't think I'll need shackles...it should be about 1" lower in the rear. Not pre-runner, but just down in the tail a bit.

I was going to get 10" wides...Ironically, I don't know why I didn't get them, I think 8's will be fine, I plan on airing down quite a bit, and I just think it will suit my taste better with 8's.

BTW, If I ever swap axles and put on 35's, I'm definetly getting 15x10" MT Classic II's

edit: I just bought the shackles...I think i'm goign to need em after looking at aftermarkets truck, I didn't catch that he said he has no tbar crank. And his rear is only slightly higher than front. I have about 2" tbar crank (almost all the way up)

cant wait to see it lifted, im still debating weather or not to do mine when the balljoints go...

Wait till ya see pics of mine...then decide ;)

Or look at the pics of the many R-F members that are lifted.

I say do it!

You just gonna run your stock shocks?
