Just got some new parts in the mail, 3" doetsch spindles, 2 front nitro shocks and rear dt3000.

Been looking at the spindles for forever and finally pulled the trigger, and needed new shocks since the original lift, so I figured it was time to buy them since I was at it. Install will be started either tomarrow or thursday and should be done by saturday night at the latest.

Gonna install all the stuff I have in the garage that have been waiting and going to do some painting

any suggestions on the color I paint parts....was just going to do everything black, but my brother was saying paint the spindles red, and I was thinking about paint the sway bar red.

 

Painting the spindles and sway bar red would be like painting your grille orange. It'll look like crap.

 

no paint, or black

 

black

 

POR 15, Black

 

Don't paint anything Doetsch makes. They're really bitchy about that for warranty issues.
I didn't realize how different the 94-99 spindles are from the 00-01 spindles.

 

They completely changed the front suspensions for 2000.

 

Yea I still have the bearings in the rotor that I get to pack myself, and good to know but these things should never break, under my driving I like to keep the tries on the ground, not really a fan of jumping a brick on wheels......yeah its fun but unlike your ford I know this dodge wont take it for very long before epically failing

 

Completely is a bit strong of a term. They modified it at best.


Don't put too much faith in what you have there. They're still OEM type spindles. Aftermarket spindles across the board are prone to cracking. They always have been, so that's something to watch out for. I know you don't plan on beating on it but don't void your warranty for some paint. They're still susceptible to normal failure points. Snouts mainly.

 

So do you have anything to say about the spindles now that you've had em on for a while. I'm still contemplating on pulling the trigger on a set for my 01. Can i get some pics from the front about 2feet off the ground?
