cheap lift?
#31
I would much rather have two wheels turning on the same plane, than some front back shenanigans going on. At least when it is predictably unstable.

I just bought the topgunz kit and couldnt be happier. I did not use the rear blocks though. I bought the kit more as a leveling kit because I had the infamous dodge lean, I looked at factory springs and couldnt really buy them for what the kit costed. Now saying that I dont off road much so the wear and tear factor may be true about the ball joints, but for daily driving it does good. I looked at the spindles but I run a 15" wheel and I think you must run a 17" or larger wheel with the spindles, Right? Either way dont get to carried away because again it is 2wd and a daily driver I assume.

I was under the impression that I needed 17s because thats what was stated by the mfg. They were 5" spindles too, so that may be part of it. I have two of those aggravating rounded speed bumps that I drive over going to and from work everyday and It actually does better than it did stock. I will agree with you that it changes all the geometry up front when you do this, but with a good alignment I feel this was the best way to lift my 2wd dd. Like a stated before I looked into spindles but the misinformation turned me away because I dont have the cheddar for new wheels and tires. If I did any real off roading (Id start with a 4x4) I would get a quality lift system that could handle aggressive bumps.

To each his own. Ive seen many lift kits that I would call "quality" and some that would fall under your representation. Unless you build your own or go to a custom fab shop(and spend tons of cash) your really dont have much of a choice but to do the proper research and find the best kit for your needs. To say there are no "quality" lift kits seems a bit out there, but like I said, to each his own. To the OP I hope some of my rambling was informative.
