Thank you sir.im wondering if the lift I was suggested to buy by a reputable dear, which is on my living room floor will work if I was able to swap the spindles.we have a Fab shop where I work.all other components look the same. What do you think

From what I remember doing my lift I think it will.

You can swap spindles, or you could order the old style hubs which are better and the bearings last longer.

I believe you can either contact the dealer you ordered the lift kit from and ask if they can exchange your spindles for the appropriate hubs you have. Or you can buy the correct set of hubs for the spindles.
