I think he was talking about the rear frame notching kit.

Go with Djm with LCA. All spindles you will loose some turning radius and not be able to get the alignment 100 back to factory.

This subject is like a skipping record. Do a search you will find tons of info on this subject.

Can you explain this or support with some evidence? Not doubting you, but would just like some more info on the matter.

Do a search for ( spindle) and you will find more on what people have good and bad to say about them.

It's the notch. The Bell Tech notch is bigger than DJM, but that's about the only thing thats better.

I'm familiar with all of those threads, I posted in two of them. What I am looking for is information to back up your claim that spindles cause problems. The only thread where someone had problems was the first one, where the guy used a combination of spindles and keys. It's not clear if the shop he was using knew what they were doing because he didn't come back and post his results. Do you know what happened with that guy?

I've been to a few other sites (Full Size Chevy, etc.) that talked about spindle problems, but it was OBS trucks with the Belltech spindles. I never read that spindles in general caused issues (to the contrary, everyone in the know seemed to say spindles were always the best way to go), and I never heard anything bad about the McGaughys piece. If you could point to reference material that talks about spindles in general causing problems, or McGaughys spindles in particular causing problems, I would really appreciate it.
