Default Re: lift kit

Brew is correct in the long travel is the awesome route to go but for cheaper you go drop axle or spindle.. And here is where he and I differ.. I like the drop axle better than the spindle kits. They just seem stronger to me and less wear on the hubs as well as my brother had the Jakes spindle kit and it increased the turning radius to a city block.. There were stops on the spindles to keep it from turning tighter. When I called Jakes to ask about it they said it was for safety. They were concerned that someone may turn the wheel too sharp and flip it.. I translated that to they were not going to fix it so out came the grinder.. Problem solved.. At least on his..

I buy my kits from my local dealer and he cuts me some slack on the price so OEM I go.. It bolts on and no muss, no fuss.

That being said, opinions are like umm, rectums, everyone has one...
