spindle lift

[Burgman]

So I am planing on lifting my Prerunner but don't quite understand how the spindles add lift... do they offer addl. Travel? I guess is just need to know how they lift so I can understand what will work best with them, thanks

I am not a rocket scientist although I have a degree as one...

A spindle lift extends and strengthens the spindle leaving the upper control arm in the stock location and lowers the relative position of the lower control arm (resulting in lift). I personally think it's a great way to go on a pre-runner! Best parts are strength of the spindle and letting the UCA stay where it was originally designed to be!! I know many that have hosed a spindle on stock spindles!

I don't have a spindle lift so maybe someone with real knowledge can help Mr. Silver!

The spindles that come with a spindle lift are definitely taller, but they also have hub mounts that are lower. These 2 things combined gives you 4" of lift. The taller spindle should free up some available suspension travel for you, because you'll get better angles on your ball joints.

Thanks guys for the info, just wanted to know what I was getting myself into

IMHO, spindles are the best way to lift a Prerunner.

I'm not a prerunner guy but I couldn't agree more - and I know less!

Now if we could get portal axles, central tire inflation, inboard brakes, 4 wheel discs, etc and then us 4wd's could do the same kind of thing!!!

Good luck with that
