Missing lift front spindle

A replacement Spring for the other kit is probably easier to find.

Looks like that weld may be cracked too. Or possibly that's corrosion under the paint and the paint is flaking, it's hard to tell in that picture.

This is definitely the one I’d use. Looks to be a MadJax lift kit based on the logo in the middle. I’d clean it up real good and paint it. And replace the spring.

It’s specific to the lift kit. I have a brand new one on the shelf if you’re interested.

After watching numerous fail videos on Youtube and seeing the way it's bent like that I would guess someone tried jumping it and came down hard on that front corner.
