Flamesuit on, but hell yeah. I have been looking for a drop kit since I bought the truck. Don't know what it is about stock height trucks, but I just have to do something. I would rather much lower it, but these trucks look great lifted too. A drop CTD with some big fat 24's rolling some street tread would be cool.

1. Test vehicles are not required.
2. Drop spindle is a no go.
3. The spindle will be available for any 2500/3500 SRW truck. The factory knuckles are the same on a gas truck as a diesel truck. Spindles will not affect the control arm position, they work by relocating the position of the wheel centerline. Dropping the mounting location of the wheel raises the height of the vehicle.

Why won't it work on a DRW?

 

Back to the top for Aloha.

 

any news on this?

 

I'm in the air about a lift or dropping mine but if this ever comes to production, I'd be interested in these as well.

 

I would be interested in a set of these spindles!!

 

with the 4" spindle would it be level? cause with the 1.5 spacer it is still a litle off.

 

5/15/2007 - Here's an update guys and gals...

The spindle provides 3.5" of lift. It will include a pair of braided stainless brake hoses. It increases the front track width just about 1" on each side. This unfortunately is unavoidable. It is NOT compatible with larger tires on factory wheels. Ideally, the wheel should have around 5" of back space. In my opinion, aftermarket wheels will be required. With this 3.5" spindle and a 2" spring spacer a 35" tire should clear pretty well. The rear lift options are being worked on right now. Expected ship date is somewhere around July. The price will probably be around $800.00 bucks for the spindle / brake hose kit. The rear lift and rear shocks are not included in that price.

Can the stock wheels and tires be used with this? Will this spindle work on a MEGA CAB?

I have a 2006 Mega 2500 and don't have the $$ for both the lift and new rims/tires right now!

 

My buddy's ready to put his order in.

 

Hopefully we can get answers when this goes to production since the response time on questions leave something to be desired.

Who is the manufacturer? Will this work with stock rims and tires? How do we order?

 

Here is some more information on this lift

It appears that CTC Performance Supension are the ones who will be producing it.

I spoke to CTC today about these spindles.

The guy said there would be a small run of 10 initially and then a larger run of 50 a week or two later. The kit would include the stainless brake lines and would be about $849.

I also asked about wheels and if I could run my stock wheels initially or would an immediate change be required. He basically said an immediate change in wheels would be required or a LARGE spacer would be needed. He said ideal backspacing for this kit would be 5" as mentioned in the earlier post.

He also said they are testing it with a 2" spacer and all indications are that there will be no issues with this. I currently have a 1.5" DayStar spacer on order - 5 inches of lift would be NICE!!

He said the spindle would make the truck about level. On mine, if I go with the spindle/1.5" spacer, I would probably lift the rear 1 to 2 ".

 

I talked to these guys also, regarding them working with a DRW. They called Dodge and were told the 2500 and 3500 DRW used the same steering knuckle and hub, so they think it should work. How will the ABS cable reach? I understand they're including stainless brake lines but I don't think the cables will make it.
