    yeah I agree with the guys. Look for cracks and rust. Ricky had the best with taking the instructions to make sure you get all the parts. I would also look at how worn any of the bushings are and the threads to any screws to make sure they are not mangled all to hell.

    Well i just talked to the guy.It is rusty because it sat outside for about 4months.The truck it came on was an 2006 XLT extended cab repo.A trucking company bought it.For some reason the front drive-shaft disconnected sometimes on the truck it came on.So the guy was like you might want to get a longer drive shaft.Does that make sense to y'all?

    Oh and the bearings are seized in the spindles he said so he was like i would just want to re-use my hub and bearings.Good idea or bad?No cracks anywhere.He said there weren't to many bushings,but that they looked fine.As far as he could tell all bolts were there.but thats small to me as i could buy any missing bolts.

    The guy was going to put it on his 05 XLT,but decided not to cause of the drive-shaft problems with the lift.

    So can i actually use my old spindles? Won't that put my stock spindles shorter than what i need to do the lift?

    Just want to get some info.He knows i'm very interested in it.

    But does the driveshaft thing make sence?
    Also what the hell did he mean by using my own hubs?

    Just don't want to get the lift and it can't be used thats all.
