I can't seem to find the info for the spindles, but I got them off eBay. The links I ordered through amazon because the shipping was faster than the actual website. "Zone Offroad TJ Rear Sway Bar Link for 4-5" Lift" is the description.

How much were the spindles? I found some on Amazon and they were $240 shipped.

I've been messaging with Red Raider and he has the CST spindles. Those cost $800 with rear spacers and brake lines. Are they really that much better to justify that price?

chrisreed - What size tires are you running and do you know what the roof height is on your truck?

01Konvict - Your truck looks great. It looks real high for having just a key lift. Do you have any rubbing issues with those tires?
I was looking at getting some 20x9 with 275-65-20 but I planning on going with the spindles and keys on the front like Chris and Red Raider have.

I found my spindles on either eBay or amazon for around 200 shipped. Everything lined up perfect and I didn't have any issues installing them. I'm running 295/70-75/17, I can't remember 70 or 75.
I've never measured roof height but I fit in a garage with about an inch left.

Those are only 17s? They definitely look bigger than that. I thought you had 20s.

01Konvict - Do you have wheels spacers on your truck for the rear? It seems like they fit pretty flush with the front.

And just my humble opinion you need to get some Escalade rear vent caps. I don't know why GM went to that style when the 95-99 Tahoes had the ones like the later Escalades.

fire730 - I dont have any rubbing issues with my tire size of 33x11R20 (275/60R20). It sits at 39.5" front and 40" rear so its on the high height for keys and coil spacers. I have no wheel spacers and the rims are 20x9 with +12 offset so they sit flush with top of fender. I think your ride would look good with lift spindles/keys and coil spacers. I have been watching for a deal on some escalade vents and I think I would paint them black but maybe colormatch.

Thanks for the wheel specs.

My Esky vents are black. I don't plan on color matching mine.
