has anyone ever modified or welded on the toyota spindles. having issues with binding and travel. a friend of mine modified the spindles on his dodge dually and fixed the same problem i have. so he gave me some ballistic pieces like what he used on his. im just wondering if anyone has tried to weld to the toyota spindles. basically im needing to cut off the upper part of the spindle and replace where the ball joint hole was with the ballistic joint and convert my upper arm to basically a triangulated link bar. if anyone has any info or has attempted this let me know.
modifying spindles is never a good idea just shell out the money and get drop spindles it changes all your geometry issues
Drop spindles won't help my problem. I'm maxing out my suspensions ability to travel between laid out to full lift. Basically I have the truck laying out but it won't untuck.
id say give it a shot. junk yard spindles aren't expensive if they don't work and stock toyota spindles are cut and welded on in the offroad scene all the time. they are forged and have no issues with being worked on. here is a spindle thats been worked over by total chaos fab to turn into a lift spindle with upper and lower uniballs with heim steering. you just better burn it hot when you weld because the spindles are pretty damn thick.
Awesome. I have looked online n found some similar to that. Wasnt sure if the old ones were forged too. I plan to heavily gusset n reinforce them. Figure if they worked on my buddy's mega cab dodge Dually they should work on a little truck like mine. Just couldn't find any info on anyone doing it before on a yota besides lifting one.
Yea drop.arms.and modified upper should solve the problemand move the bags as close to the frame as possible
I am having to raise my upper arm and yes the ball joint is what I'm getting rid of on the top arm and using a balistic uni ball. Don't have a lot of options for moving the bag I have to run a bigger bag to lift the weight of the 350.
