Re: Does anyone have any Fabtech spindles in stock

your best bet is to get aim/springtech spindles. they give the same lift and there are guys that beat them hard. oh and there like almost half the cost

Yep...you have to cut the wires and splice in some extensions. Just make sure you cut them one at a time so you don't mix them up because both wires are the same color!!!

You don't need to cut and splice the wire!

There are 2 clip mount that holds the ABS line on backing plate, just loosen them with flathead and remove the wire off. That provides more room for the wire, just secure them well.

Re: Does anyone have any Fabtech spindles in stock

Thats so strange, i ripped the drivers side. With spindles and lift springs. I was able to extend and fix it. I guessed right on hooking the wires up. I passengers side first thing.

Re: Does anyone have any Fabtech spindles in stock

225 sounds a bit high for used. I got mine for 237 shipped brand new.
