    Needed or not? I am only planning on maying my truck out on 18s. I plan to bodydrop it, but that's got nothing to do with the spindles. Can these truck be completely layed out without spindles, or is that just a $300 I'm going to have to spend whether I want to or not?

    I don't know about pie cutting the uppers, but I'm definitely down from some tubular uppers. I will have to look around and see what I can find. It'll look a lot better with Tubular uppers when you open the hood and see tires, Vette engine covers, LS intake, and tubular arms as opposed to stock ugly stamped uppers!

    you can build a set of uppers for less then $100 if you have access to a bender.

    it's re-using the stock cross shafts. and that is buying screw in balljoints from speedway as well as the balljoint sleeves, and the bushing come from energy suspension.

    this is the set on my truck

    well now that you've given me a price on much to build some, how much would yo build me some for? I can get them powder coated cheap, so I would want raw... I don't have access to a bender.
