Default Broken Spindle on 95 Ram Garlits

The left spindle on my 95 Ram Big Daddy Garlits broke today. Luckily I wasnt going very fast. The truck has a Fab Tech 6 inch lift kit on it. Does anyone have any suggestions where I can pick up a new Fab Tech 6 inch spindle for the one side at a fairly reasonable price? Thanks

were you just driving normal, or doing a dukes of hazard jump. if normal, i'd call Fab Tech customer service and tell em their spindle broke and we're all lucky you didn't cross the center line and head-on a school bus full of children going on a picnic, and how about they send you a replacement at no cost.... spindles are not supposed to break.

That's the first thought that came to mind.

Any more info on the actual breakage?

The first problem is FadTech. More importantly, how the **** does a spindle break?
