Whats the deal

What all the talk about spindle lifts taking a S*** after 30K miles and such? Are there any that will last? What about coil spacers?

Pretty sure the only people that are having those troubles are people with Fabtech spindles that have snapped on them.

The fabtech spindles break, it is really common. Normally just from turning into a parking lot or something stupid.
