Lift Kit Question

[purplewg]

I am looking to put a Jake's 6 inch lift on and I am confused as to what the the drop spindle kit gets me as opposed to the A-ARM LIFT KIT. Which is better or why might I select one over the other? Thanks for the help!

Depends on the car model. G1/G2/G9/G8/G14/G16 will use an A Arm typle lft kit. G22 and "The Drive" use spindle lifts. Then there's long travel... If you buy a Jake's lift kit, you can be shure it is very high quality and will give many years of service

Jakes is my first choice. It is a G19. I thought both were available for the G19 but maybe I was wrong. I plan to get the A-Arm lift anyway. Thanks...

I to have a G19 and I also choose the A arm lift. I do not like the spindle lifts. I do not feel they are as safe as a A Arm lift. I have nothing to base it on other than the design of the two units.

Yeah, turns out mine is a G22 with apparently some left over G19 parts. All the running gear is G22 so I was stuck using a spindle lift. It worked out ok. No serious off roading. I did notice the track bar is still way down back there. Not much more clearance other than what the bigger tires gave me in that area.
