I looked under my truck today and saw that the tie rod ends are UNDER the spindle mount. what is stopping us from mounting them up above.

Oh yeah this is on a 2wd

I have wondered the same. But we still have the rack and pinion. So my lifting is still not going to high, YET!!! We need 3in lift spindles. Im so frustrated about that.

Man, I hear ya. That stupid R and P steering sucks. If we could relocate the tie rods on top, we could go HIGH. Just imagine, 2" spindle lift, 3" coils, 2" A-Arms lift. With a 3" body lift, thats 10 INCHES.

I have never replaced my ball joints, but with somekind of adapter plate, I'm sure we could put them on top of the spindle mounts.

Yeah dude. I have thougt abuot getting a 4x4s steering of the same year and swap it out. I know that there are major differences in location but I think with some work it could be set.
If we could relocate the rod ends, then we could get extended arms, and larger coils and go probably 5-6 in susp lift easy. Can you imagine? If we got spindles, we also be set. I just wanna run 33x12.50s. I guess well see huh. Later

If you can think on any company that we could harrass about spindles, let me know. Ill drowned them in emails.
