Default 3" Lift Spindle + Lift Shackle ONLY $400!!

So, first off, I am no lift spindle & shackle price expert. I dont know their actually cost from name brands like fabtech. Second, yes, this is an ebay find with an unknown brand of potentially unknown quality. However, there are alot of guys out there looking to lift their trucks purely for aesthetics or to fit bigger shocks, with no uneccesarily rough offroading in mind.

What I have found on ebay is a 3" lift spindle and 2" lift shackles for 2wd coil and torsion bar rangers. The total price is only $425.00 shipped. I do not know if this is cheap in comparison, though one of the fabtech kits I saw online was around 800.00 but that included shocks. This kit is made by a company called "Lift USA", ya i know. However, they claim the parts are made in the US and are completely made in HAAS CNC machinery and are of Casted Ductile Iron and Heat Treated. So if you are interested you can check 'em out here.

Personally, I am waiting for the time and money so I can build fabricated lift spindles, fully boxed, all uniballs, dana 35 or 44 bolt on snouts, all Dom .120 or 4130 chromoly. Just to make sure when I hit the dirt hard, I can still drive her home with no questions!

As ebay goes:

I normally check their feedback ratings, if I am still not sure I write others who have bought stuff and ask them , they generally will tell the truth as to stay away or if seller is good.
Any item that there could be saftey issues with , if the seller has any negatives at all I will not buy from.
but that is me.

Won't work on your truck. For 2wd only. The spindle is what your wheel/rotor sits on that sits between your upper and lower control arms. This lift moves the stem that your rotor sits on 3" lower giving the truck the 3" of lift.
