Lowering Spindles

There is a shop here in So Cal who fabs up some drop spindles for the titan. I called Max @ Bio Kustumz (9516543195) and he confirmed the he does fab up a modified stock spindle, which will give a 3 inch drop and tucks in 1/2 inch. Ill go check out his shop next week.

I saw some pictures of spindles on another thread but was not sure if these were the same spindles?

Anyone out there used spindles to lower the titan?

Re: Lowering Spindles

Will anything else need to be done to install these? I saw earlier someone said the upper and lower control arms needed to be replaced. why is that? i am lookin to drop my titan but i dont want to do bags and a 2/4 or 2/5 isnt enough for what i want to do. also, when the back is dropped how much does this affect the towing capacity? not really worried bout the payload. But i have a big boat that i pull and cant afford to loose towing. any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

The reason why you need arms for the ones FFTitan has is due to the replacement ends that are on the custom spindles. If you let Max modify the OEM ones, then you can keep the stock arms. I have some pictures of some modified ones that Max did.

Re: Lowering Spindles

No they are built right, the modified ones are meant more for just basic lowering where the ones built from scratch with uniballs are built for airride or hydraulics with camber,bumpsteer,and largest diameter wheel all in mind.
