Twistedvegas, where did you get your spindles? I just picked up a '73 C20, 8 lug, and would like a few inches of lift without screwing up the geometry. I haven't been able to find any lift spindles for the 88+ 8 lug, only the 6 lug.

Re: 73-87 lift spindle installation in the 86 Custom Deluxe

These are the spindles I am about to use...

https://www.ebay.com/i/291918856622?chn=ps&dispItem=1

I am also using a set of porterbuilt c20/c30 tubular control arms
and 8 lug brakes with heavey duty rotors and calipers....

Let us know how those arms work. I still haven't worked out a problem with too much camber kicking the top of the wheel out. I've planned on building a spacer for the lower control arm mounts but haven't had any time to work on my truck since I moved.
