I'm shocked you were still running the stock spindles. Anything else damaged?

I havent had a chance to look at it closely, but nothing else was damaged from what I saw. (its sitting in a garage 3 hours away from me right now). I dropped it off and had to leave shortly after to get the tow vehicle back to the owner. hopefully its just the spindles. I'm still deciding if I should do gusseted stockers, or full fabricated spindles. gusseted spindles are more in the price range, but Fabricated spindles are certainly way more durable.

i couldn't agree more. I was lucky enough to not rip it off the truck and cause more damage. I was able to keep it straight and get it safely stopped, then band-aided to get it back to camp and onto a trailer.

Exactly, way more damage possible, one frf'er had this same thing happen and it pushed it over the limit for them to total his truck out.

That's an easy trail fix, ask me how I know hahaha. Welded back up and then gusseted with Harbor Freight wrenches. Got me 13 miles back to the road out of the desert at about 25-35mph not bad. If you look real hard you can see I hit the wash out so hard the shaft of my Fox 3.0 bent.

Rode in and drove a BOLT truck a few weeks ago, very very nice. What front kit are you running now, stock or..?


I have Rogue's st. 4 minus their sway bar and the bypass towers are sitting in my garage. I was at Adam's 2 months ago rebuilding my shocks and saw the kit installed on his truck. I actually had never seen the kit in person and found myself crawling around the truck at midnight using my iPhone flashlight! It's impressive looking.
