was looking at getting a springtech spindle lift kit because they are almost half the price of a cst, my question is does the springtech need the UPPER BALL JOINT TAPER SLEEVE, like what the CST kit uses. just wondering if i would need to buy those seprately. also would i need extended brake lines or no.
i used the sleeves but did not need ext, brake lines.Quote:

so did u have the springtech lift spindles. how well did you like them,Quote:

The rear was TIGHT (I added an extra add-a-leaf to keep rake), but the front is fine (if you take off the retaining clip on the upper control arm and just run the hose straight)
i eventually got the russell kit for stopping performance, but it wasn't NECESSARY.
i've heard alot of bad things about any 2wd lift that changes the upper control arm. I got longer coil springs, and a new spindle, top stayed factory. 40k miles, NO PROBLEMS (except a tie rod)
i liked them. had no problems with them at all. everything aligned good when i took it in.Quote:
