[Hartman]

Do something with that rearend already!

 

[jimbo74]

yeah..... where are the warriors and the add a leafs?

agent51, what is the part number for the fabtec spindle and how much was it? is it the same as the procomp spindle? love your lift man. do u have a picture of the spindle from the front of the truck, .close up with the tire? thanks for your info man.

 

[HuiDaddy]

the rear of your X should be lowered!!! dont listen to any of these guys... i know what i'm talkin about! im riding stock!!!

for realz though man... raise the rear. its look like a grandma! SuWEET front end though!

 

[jimbo74]

kinda looks like a baja chevy... you know, the ones where the guy lifts the front and puts on tire and rims but cant afford the rear springs or in the chevy's case, a $20 lift block

 

[Agent_51]

Yeah the rear end is completely stock, except for the bilsteins. And if you dont like it that way, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars and go straight to hell. I wanted a stock rear end. If thats not your thing, then fine. And at the very least dont say i cant afford a 50 dollar add a leaf or 60 dollar shackles. Thats just plain retarded.

Anyways, the part # for the spindle is FTS98300-7 and they were 399 bucks. Im not sure if its the same as the procomp spindle because ive seen people on this site that run stock wheels with them, but with the fabtech ones you can only have a maximum of 3 and 3/4" backspacing, which means you cant run them with stock wheels.

I dont have picture of the spindle up close because i didnt have time to start my car and turn the wheels so it would be viewable. The next time i wash it i may try to get some more pics taken.

 

[Hartman]

Just curious, why do you want the front all jacked up and the back stock height? Enlighten me...

 

[jimbo74]

that way it looks like the cool chevy prerunners!

 

[Agent_51]

Why do you want yours level? Its personal preference. I had my ranger the same way... 5.5 in the front and 1 inch the back. I like the way that looks.

jimabena74. Whats your fixation with "Chevy prerunners?" You know they have ford prerunners too. And oh, oh, oh my god toyota ones as well. HOLY CRAP!

 

[jimbo74]

sorry, time for clarifications..... i was insulting those crappy chevy prerunners..... that have the $2k done front suspension, rims and tires, will never see off road, and the owners were to cheap to spring for rear lift blocks!!!!! i have seen that a lot here.....

 

[tbish501]

Dont get pissy... I agree with everyone... it would look a lot better if it was equal... but hey its your truck.

 

[jimbo74]

as for the ford and toyota prerunners... i didnt mention them becuase i wasnt insulting them.... only the chevies

 

[swak6287]

so we need more backspacing for the stock wheel? that means that the tingy that sticks out for the wheel is shorter then the stock factory spindle? (very mechanical working eh... hehe)

I'll come right out and say it looks pretty dumb to me! Looks like it has hydros.

[Digger196]

this guys getting alot of ****. just lay off of it and stop telling him how bad it looks and keep that to yourself. how would you like if i told you that your X looks like crap and tell you what you need to do and you spent alot of money to make it look like that?? i don't think you would like that.

 

[Hartman]

Throw some friggin shackles back there and I'll give it an A+!!

 

[jimbo74]

i would NOT care...... my opinion was stated... and that is all it is...my opinion..... if he wants to say my x looks like a pos go ahead.... i will agree with him... i dont have my explorer to look good... i have it cuz it is a truck
