looking for lift spindles

[drewxjn]

For 02 tahoe 4x4 5.3. Cant find any for sale.

lift spindles are for 2 wheel drives unless you buy a whole lift kit for 4 wheel drives that has them in it. I may be incorrect but pretty sure the 3" spindles are 2x4 only. Thats why 4x4 use lift keys

Yeah I could only find them for 2wd, The reason i wanted them is because I've hear that keys will put more stress on other parts.

You can use spindles but u will have to remove cvs which would defeat the purpose of having a 4wd. Do keys or a bl

Keys won't hurt anything as long as you don't crank them up a crazy amount. The only things that really affected are your CV angles and shock travel. Don't go above 2.5" or so on the lift to keep the cv geometry in check, and get longer front shocks. No big deal. (I ran the OEM front shocks at 2.5" lift for over a year before they puked - then I got bilstein 5100s)

Edit: as others have said, spindles are for 2wd only, so that's a no-go.
