Yeah on fords as well as chevys. The spindle seems like it is a cast material and the snout where the weel mounts is machined, steel i suppose. Mine were the same way

No everything should bolt right up. It did on mine


The fabtech is more expensive because they are painted blue and say fabtech. They are more than likely the same exact spindle and probably come from the same factory. The same thing could probably be said about all spindles

The first post on this thread said he was having trouble with a caster alignment. He said because he lifted the front 4.5 inches and left the back stock. Is this why he had the problem? And if I put a 5.5in in the front and 4inch bloacks in the back, would I be running into this problem?
