i wouldnt trust it on my truck. not only is it sold by AIM, it says it was just added on friday so i would wait a while to see if they even work.

nah they arent going to give you drop. those are the balljoints you need to go in your 2 inch drop spindles.

In my opion the ony way you could get teo inches would be with upper ans lowers but still dont know about that and i wonder if it could cause rubbing issues with smaller wheels

those came with my 2" spindles...they aren't threaded and you need to cut out a nice cunk of your lower control arm to make them fit...i tapped out the proper thread size into the holes and ran factory hardware with locknuts to make sure they would be safe...so far so good (fingers crossed)..they are useless without the spindles though...

They are the basically like flipping your balljoints,no?

Can you use them in combinatin with 2" spindles and get 4" of drop up front without touching your torsions?

not really.the spindles are tapered to fit only one way..if you put the balljoints in upside down it will work but it won't really be safe...very little material will actually be contacting the ball joint....

ah yeah. I had flipped balljoints before I got my spindles. It rode like crap and had crazy negative camber. I chewed through a set of tires in 2 weeks.

Dawgpimp on here used to work for AIM / Chassis Tech. They also borrowed my old Mazda to fab up "cop-stoppers" and even though they decided they were not cost effective, they still threw me some free swag (air bags lol).

In my honest opinion, most of their stuff now is decent and I know a few people running their stuff with no real issues.

However, as Slamson said, those are replacements for THEIR spindles. If you need that extra drop to lay out the front Jeff, look into whats stopping your wheel from going any further like I suggested.

Post up pics in your build thread and let us see if anyone else can point out anything that was missed.
