What's the Difference compares similar vehicle components and installation processes with experienced competition chassis and drivetrain installer, Erick Tucker & street performance chassis and drivetrain innovator, Tom Campion. In this episode, we take a look at basic front truck lifts including the economical leveling kits (strut spacers) and the more expensive, yet also more retentive of the stock ride, spindle lifts.

[odyssey]

Awesome video, definitely helped me decide, I’m going with spindles. 😁

[Felipe_rascon]

If I do 2 inch coil spacers and 3 inch lift spindles would I need ucas as well ?

[nickdismute]

Can you run both a leveling kit and lift spindles

[mikem]

I have a 2018 Silverado that i am in the process of putting on 3.5” lift spindles and a coil over kit with aftermarket upper control arms

[jayonkbm]

Can I use stock upper and lower control arms for 2010 Tahoe with 4.5 inch spindle?

[jesterfubar]

Great stuff!!!! If I do a 3 inch spindle lift on my 2016 ram 1500 express rwd, will I need to extend the brake lines?

[MrSantiago]

Installing a3”spindle do I need to use different size on Shocks

[mariouresti]

good day
I have a 2013 ram 1500 2wd it currently has a 2.5 inch spacer it looks good but it feels bad and sounds metal metal on metal I would like to know if I buy two inch springs from rough country or the spindles that you say I no longer want to struggle and drive comfortably do you recommend me?

[franciscogutierrez]

Does this add 2 inches to eliminate rake plus 4 on top of that? Or just 2 inches to eliminate rake plus 2 inches lift?

1995 camaro what spindle will give it a 3 inch lift

[arnoldbaclig]

I got 2007 f150 2wd i put a 2"space when i put it together the upper control arm and spring their too close it other. Looks like not safe too drive thats why i take them out.. maybe the best option like you guys did to change spindle much safer to drive....

[guadalupezepeda]

Hello there so I had a question regarding the spacer put on the break line to relocate it how can I find it and is there a better video that c an show me how to install it safely

[tiki]

i have a 2wd 2019 ranger and want to get a spindle lift but the only thing i can find is a lift kit for a 4wd with spindles in it. would a 4wd spindle fit on my 2wd

[ericyue]

So just to clarify, you CANNOT spindle lift a 4x4? I just bought a 6” lift truck and found out who the brand of the lift is because I want to lower the truck 2” but they are saying it’s impossible since it’s a spindle lift

[joe]

I'm considering doing a maxtrac 4.5" / 3" lift kit with front spindles would i need to replace the front coil springs or would factory work

[christianb]

I heard a coilover front spacer compresses the stock spring a little bit where a spindle would not and be better? If coilover spacers do compress the spring at all, how much so for like a 3” lift? Considering getting the spindles.

[Adan]

How much for bigger spindle for my 2006 Ford f150 4.6 2wd

[emiliogonzalez]

Can I still upgrade the upper control arm for one that’s made for a 3 inch lift?
