part number for lift spindle that works with 8 lug? I can only find the 6 lug ones. thanks

Just a FYI these spindles ARE discontinued. There are a TON of scammers out there who claim they have them in stock... don't get screwed. I found mine used, and honestly i just don't see you finding a legit set of new ones. Used will be your best bet. They were discontinued a while ago, so any place who claims they have them is likely full of it. Believe me i checked.

A lot of them will hurry up and try to get you to place your order and pay. Or they list that they have them in stock, however every place i called claimed they would have to order them direct from Fabtech. Which they won't be able to do because i have confirmed with Fabtech directly that they are discontinued.

Just be careful if you try and find a set. Like i said used is probably going to be your best bet. Just watch Ebay like a hawk.

Only bad thing about discontinued is you break it your fawked! !

Yeah.. exactly. I mean i don't plan on taking this truck offroad or anything, it's pretty much a pavement queen 97% of the time. And with that other 3% i'm just out in grass or on a job site somewhere, no real abuse. So i should be alright.

My truck is a street queen also. You should be fine. I only said that because every time I find rims that I like on Craigslist they are discontinued and I won't touch them with the bad roads we have. One pot hole is all it takes lol

Oh yeah. For sure. i was really hesitant to buy aftermarket rims for that reason exactly. but with 18's and that much tire, you should be good.
