No this started when he called the belltech cheepy which many people here and on the other sites i sell these to will back up what i said and that they are not.

this entire spindle thing is not from the new 07 up its from the 99-06 spindles and we can see what McGaughys said to the customer in the sss.


modded many of the trucks i do doesnt matter belltech/djm springs/mcgaughys on customers rides on the 07 up trucks they start off ok and then slowly rides gets worse and worse especaillly with 2 inch drop springs. I have a buddy at dealership here i can get warranty on stock struts (which other dealers wont do if you use drop spring or this kind of lowering here) and we pop in the new struts and customers like oh many this rides a lot better and then slowly but surely ride starts going bad again

Stock struts are not meant to lower 2 inches on. Sure companies make the drop parts and i sell it but i warn the customers about this and the drop sturts are pretty much almost the same amount as the springs.

I get what your saying about the cheapy thing, I don't even know who desgined those struts but they look quality enough to me, I would have got them but it was too late lol.
Now for Tims relocators, I just wantto see how it rides, one advantage of the Belltech shocks is they compliment the stiffness large wheels can cause. On my life, I did not notice a change in ride going from 20s, to 24s!! Maybe its because my front shocks are Bilsteinds and the rears are Belltech SP, so I would like to see someone try Tims relocators and see how it rides with stock.aftermarket wheels, pretty sure it will be good too.

If its anywhere cheaper than $120 people are going to hop all over it because of the price. But then what the review on them is, is what really matters!!

just a update i talked to DJM today got all my story str8 lol


DJM has never been sued or anything by Mcgaughys at all. I talked to someone at DJM said the spindles were made for 2 or 3 months (my fault on that one) but the a arms were a better seller so they went with them and they said it aligned much better with the a arms. No one talked to them about copying or getting sued and being sued is the first they ever heard.



Im waiting to hear from belltech about this also.

due to it not aligning and 2 other companies selling spindles it wasnt a money making option to them. The a arms were selling 10x better than the spindles so they tossed the spindles stuck to arms like the do now also
