I had to get mine pressed out as well. The shop said their 100 ton (or something like that) press usually never hesitates but did with them, so I was not going to get them with the dang hand turned press

The upper isnt replaceable, you have to get entire UCAs. I think they are only 110/each though.

There's a seller on ebay that sells them. But they are from a place called airbagit. That's if you only want the spindles though. If you want a whole kit thats a different thread. And FYI the OP of this thread is no longer on here as he bought a new truck (Ford).

I got 3" spindles for my 06 1500 from a seller called pricebusterchris on eBay, haven't put them in yet but they look high quality and they shipped fast even to Canada.

Spindles don't offset (make it stick out or in)

Lift singles don't change the suspension geometry either as all they do is place the tire hub lower in the spindle which raises the truck

Lift springs will cause a more stiff ride

Both my "airbag it.com" and "max trac suspension" spindles pushed my front tires out around 1".

Those are the only two your gonna be buying unless your wasting money on cst spindles.

It's clear to see because I have a very tight parking spot at work and when parked dead parallel against the line the front tires hang over and backs don't
