I went with an Add-A-Leaf.

I have the 6.5 lift on a 96 1500 2WD we recently picked up but its missing the lift spindles and thus the upper control arm/spindle connect awkwardly. Anyone have a 3.5" spindle set for sale/trade (i.e FTS3000-7DS, FTS3000-7PS)

Well if not, do you think the 2000-2001 Fabtech 3.5" spindles (i.e FTS3200-7DS, FTS3200-7PS ) will work?

I thought the front chassis was the same on the 2wds. I know the pivot arm for the upper control arms is the same from 94-04; maybe other years also.

Since I have yet to actually see a fabtech spindle for this truck; its unclear to which of the below is the correct one.

Supposedly this is the FTS3000-7


But another site says the below is the FTS3200-7, sure looks the same as the above FTS3000-7


Yet another site says the below Fabtech spindle fits 94-2001 and looks different from above.



Im hoping an owner can chime in with an answer.

The calipers changed in 00 as well, dual piston. I don't know if the ball joints are the same size....

Upgrade some parts and call it a new model; dealers ethic I guess
