These arrived today (click for bigger):




They look even more solid in person than they do on the site. They came powder-coated in grey.

 

Good luck with the install, be sure to post up before and after pics

 

they look pretty sweet
X2 on the before and after pics!
Im hoping to grab a set before not too long here. as far as i understand you use your current shocks right?. due to the only thing changing is the hub height

 

Oh, I haven't even begun to start on shocks, I'm hoping the ones that come with my fabtech kit will work until I figure out what to go with. All I have on right now are some $15 ones from Canadian Tire because it came with blown shocks.

Not sure what I can do for before an after, she's been sitting on jack stands in my shop for well over a year, been busy with work but not for much longer. I suppose I can see if I can put them on and take a few pics while waiting for the UCAs and torsion bars. I'm going to have to at least take the original spindles off so I can recoup what... $70 from the $920 it cost me after the cost of shipping 'em back. $140 charge to receive... There aren't words allowed on this forums that can get across how angry I am about $65 in "brokerage fees" + $8 "misc fees" + $68 actual duties. The core return is $125, shipping will be at least $65.

I guess I should have told them to use USPS, it's just that Canada Post is on some lame rolling strike and I didn't want to wait. They would have just charged me the tax.

At least I'll recoup the "screw you" fees. Feh, even with our dollar worth more than yours I'm still getting boned by the border.

 

that sucks. shipping is the killer for me. and the core charge. im excited to see all the pics once youve got in on the road its gonna be one sick truck. what are your plans for the back?

 

with the spindles alone you use stock length shocks...just need longer brake lines.

 

I made sure to order the longer lines when I got the spindles but one thing I can't help but wonder is if they'll be long enough with the spindles and lift UCAs.

Plans for the back are somewhat detailed in the two links in my sig, I've a friend I'm trying to get to button up my diff but once assembled it'll have the aal from fabtech, 1.5" longer shackles, leaf over axle conversion, and a flatbed that I'm putting together atm. Locker and 4.10 diff out of a 4wd are going in the axle.

Oh, and a question for those running just the spindles or the spindles + ucas or just the ucas, did you have to do any steering upgrades? I'm mostly worried about how it's going to affect the tie-rod ends.
