Get the most clearance possible from your Transit RWD with our Front 2" Lift Spindle!
Lift spindles are a long time staple of the desert racing world, adding front clearance where it matters most: underneath the front control arms, cross members and frame. The added clearance allows easier fitment of larger tires, further increasing ground clearance and upping the capability of your 2wd van. Track width is increased modestly (1/2" per side, 1" total) for increased stability and a better scrub radius with larger tires.
When properly engineered, there are no down sides. Our spindle was carefully designed to preserve the complex geometry of the front end without altering tie rod angle or placement, maintaining camber, caster and Ackerman angles within their correct specifications. Precision cut and machined parts key together to ensure solid construction. Motorcraft ball joints come pre-installed to simplify the installation process and ensure years of trouble free service. A complete hardware kit is included, and the spindles are plated with zinc oxide for corrosion resistance.
Designed to work both as a standalone product to lift the front for a leveled stance on a light van, or combined with our Topo 2" front lift kit, for 4" of total lift in the front. A 4" lifted front will clear a 285/70R17*, a versatile size tire great for off-highway use and on.
* We recommend a 17" x 8" wheel with 45mm offset. Trimming of the pinch seam is required.

I was debating these or the Weldtec units. These did not require crazy wheel sizes or spacers and my Method wheels with 42 offset worked and they have been tested in Death Valley on Mengel Pass and Goler Wash as well as Racetrack Road.
I didn't chose Weldtec due to a failure in Death Valley.
The choice is clear!
