I found a nice spindle lift kit but the ad says the control arm needs trimming?

Sounds scary!

Can the experts here throw in with the right advise here please. I love the truck and don't want to do something stupid and damage anything.

AD TEXT:

2001- 2009
Two Wheel Drive Ford Ranger Trucks With Coil Spring Front Suspension*

*Will not fit 2010-2011 Rangers with Stabilitrack ABS
*Rims 15" or larger with 3.75" maximum backspacing are recommended

PLEASE CHECK FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN COMPATIBILITY FEATURE AT TOP OF THIS LISTING

Due The Spindle Shaft Being A Press In Style and Not Bolt In Style There is Minor Trimming Of Control Arm Lip Required,
This Is The Same Requirement For FabTech and Other Name Brand Spindles
Professional Installation Is Always Recommended

----------

Are there any other parts i need so i dont get surprised on install day at the shop?

I want to roll in with "everything" that will be needed for a flawless install.

Thanks in advance for the great info here huys, i appreciate it.

Best regards oldsoldier

Will there be any other parts necessary to accomplish this build? I would like to roll into the shop with everything that is absolutely necessary so that on the day of the build I dont get surprised at the shop on install-day with more expense.

Thanks in advance for all the great advise guys.

Best regards,

Oldsoldier

It's a fairly simple deal. Just show up with the spindles and an angle grinder and you're set.

These are from my very own Ranger:
