I heard western chassis a good brand also or is that wrong

[2manyyotas]

western chassis are very good thats what i have on my dually but my biggest grip with them is with only dropping the 3 inch they gave me and using stock springs i have some negative camber that i can not adjust out. i got it as close as i can but cant get it to -0- if i dropped it by the springs 1-2 inches then it would zero out but my tires are a bit too tall on the semis i wouldnt be able to turn. not a big deal with me because im about to bag it and it will zero out then

im sure different trucks wont have those problems just giving examples

[Superman]

Does anyone know where I can get help putting them on cuz its my first bagged truck and my first putting spindles on

[Symonds94]

Spindles are pretty much self explanitory. Easy to change. Hardest part in my opinion is getting the control arms popped out but that's really not hard either. Lossen the castle nut up flush with the top of the ball joint and give it a few love taps with a hammer.

X2, go to your local auto parts store and ask for a "pickle fork" they may even loan one to you. They should have ones you smack with a hammer and ones that go in an pneumatic gun. Be sure you have some sort of limiting strap or weight on the spring before you break the BJ loose, that spring can come out and ruin your afternoon.
