CST Suspension. It’s a fabricated spindle. I attached the link. They are for 2500/3500 2wd. On sale right now for $950. Way cheaper than I paid a few years ago. Hope this helps. cstsuspension.com/product-category/2wd-lift-spindles/?orderby=popularity&paged=1&_sft_product_cat=2wd-lift-spindles

Yes it’s a ext cab long bed 2wd. I believe on the CST website they say you can’t because they claim there’s interference with the brake caliper and the spindle. I checked it when putting it together and there was plenty of clearance. I drive the truck everyday and it works perfect. Only issue is tire clearance. The 315/75/17 required very little clearance. Just cutting the front of the inner fender well a bit and rounding the lower valance. Didn’t really do anything to the back side of the fender well. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you with anything else. 🤟

Thank you for the quick reply. Your truck looks great. I'll get mine together in the next few months and definitely going with CST. I'm assuming with the 1inch lift block in the rear, you didn't need a longer shock? Also, does it sit rear high, rear low, or pretty much level?@@mooneyes109

Yeah the front of the truck sits at 42 1/2 inches and the rear is 42 inches. Measuring from the ground through the center of the wheel to the top side of the fender well. It has all stock replacement shocks from Bilstien. No oversized anything. It’s a very simple set up and it looks great. If you want if completely level you can achieve it by just spinning the adjustable bolt down on the keys. No special tools other than a ratchet/socket and a measuring tape. I wanted the front end just slightly higher than the rear. Hope this helps! 👍

Look in the comments below, there’s details how to get there 👍

Absolutely, no doubt! 🤟

The wheels have 0 offset. 4.75 of backspacing. It’s just a standard stock wheel, nothing custom. As far as the wheel clearance to the spindle it’s made for the truck so clears no problem, but the top of the upper A-arm that that is actually closer to the tire than the spindle has about 2 1/4 inches from the middle of the top of the tire which is actually to widest part. Still zero issues with the set up.

@@mooneyes109 Thanks for the reply. Truck looks nice!

Thank you, I appreciate it! 👍

This buggy uses essentially a stock vw bug rear shock. It’s fine for just cruising around and mild climbing but much more it’s maxed out. I’m assuming but I’m pretty sure it uses factory bug torsion springs along with possibly aftermarket spring plates. With two people over anything aggressive it will max out extension and compression. Hope this helps but if you really need a lot of wheel travel those buggy’s are out the with much more capable shocks. This one is just an old basic buggy that works! 👍

Thanks, I didn’t really see the need for it but possibly. The bushings were fine with new ball joints. The alignment is perfect so no need for a +\- ball joint. I’m not opposed to a better upper but the factory works for me. 👍

Yes it definitely a cool experience rowing the gears and grabbing second getting a little loose. 👍

Fortunately this buggy is super stiff!!! 👍

Yeah it’s definitely a blast to rip around!

That’s cool to hear, yes it’s definitely fun and an easy way to get out there on a budget! 👍

Yes it is simple, but it still makes you scratch your head sometimes! 👍

Nice, I will be in Barstow this weekend. Hopefully run into you sometime out there when you get your buggy running! 👍

And please make them longer and unedited from cold start to shut down. Oh - and my favorite part is being able to see your footwork! You’re a good driver.

Definitely will get more uploaded!

Will do! Plan on posting again in a few days.

Thank you! Looking forward to this riding season. 🤟

Yes it is!!! 👍

Take the I 15 north exit for hwy 138 go straight thru intersection while getting off I15 dirt road in other side follow dirt road till you see train trestle and park

@@Chrisjamesbowe ok awesome, i always wondered where that lil road went!! Any cool hills ti climb? or is it just mostly flat stuff?

A little of both what do you ride

Hills are short but still fun and close by

@@Chrisjamesbowe , Desert Dunebuggy , an a kx250 2smoker. You could see videos of my buggy on my RUclips page it’s a beater, but I love climbing shit!

Thank you, will be posting more as we go out. Hopefully try to add what I can to make things better, I’m new to uploading and shooting stuff. Thank you 👍
