Ever since we did the LS Swap in the OBS, the truck has always had a mean squat in the front and it makes the truck look tired. Not to mention that the 5.3 LM7 Oil Pan hangs below the crossmember about 2.5” which puts it in a pretty vulnerable spot so I ordered some 4” Lift spindles online and figured that I would include you guys in on how to install them.
The spindles were actually quite simple to install and any competent mechanic could probably have these installed in less that 3-4 hours. I cut and edited this video in order to save time but I pretty much covered everything step by step the best that I could.
I would Highly recommend replacing your flex lines that lead to your brake calipers for slightly longer ones.
Overall I am very pleased with the look of the truck now it rides no different than it did when it was stock. Before the spindles, I had installed 3” coil spring spacers and the truck rode terrible and was Dangerous to drive so I removed them immediately and decided to go with the spindles instead. I’m glad that we did. The truck rides and looks great!!
These are to lift a 2wd. I am not going to mention where I ordered these spindles from but they can be ordered online from a number of different sources. They’re all being middlemaned from china anyways so it really doesn’t matter.
Anyways, I appreciate you guys watching and if you have any questions feel free to ask and I’ll try to help you out the best that I can.
