Title: Raised Spindles One for the Muddy Side?

Just playing with various ride height options and wondering if anyone from the Muddy Side has any Raised spindles that they care to part with?

No, Trekker spindles have the lower joint upside down and as I cannot flip the lower arms, I am looking for balljoint raised spindles

Nathan Baker makes them from 2 sets of spindles, he charges just over £200 I believe.
Quite a few of the baja boys have them fitted as Trekker ones are hard to get hold of these days

Insurance companies and more so MOT Can pick on weld spindles as they are not a welding suspension part So can not be weld.. I had it with Porsche to bay years ago I bolted and deep weld them and tested them But my Mot guy who is fair was like No way.. So I went to a different mot place and it past..

Nathan has certainly advised me that 99% of the spindles out there should not be welded, but there are some versions where they are strong enough to do so. Must also be carried out by a competent and "Coded" welder too
