try looking in the "useful threads" forum.

I know you said you tried using the search feature, but there are quite a few write-up threads on both these topics.

The spindles are part of the front suspension. Basically the lift ones are 3" taller = lift.

Costs about 500-600 for parts I believe. The avg diy-er can't do it themselves, though with some rented/borrowed tools and some friends you can. Add 2-2.5" TT and you equal the rear SOA lift.

Well I just got some spindles....

....shipped to me by fury. I don't know if he installed them himself, but I will do it myself in about two weeks. I'll let you know how it turns out by doing a write-up with pictures.
Jeffseal had some spindles on his too. Doesn't look too commplicated, you'll just need the right tools, and blocks, etc. to raise the truck while you're working underneath. Got some longer torsion bolts to try and get it as even as possible.
