I never understood it either.


It's so easy to make the tie rod and ball joint part... and then just machine in a spindle three inches higher. (This is possible by welding a spindle separately to it with a GOOD weldor and then strengthening it like crazy. Warpage would be a problem, though.)


I know it makes no sense, but I'm just going to keep my mouth shut because I don't forsee it happening.

yep, it just isnt done. there are places that will make you a set but be prepared to spend atleast $1000 to get it done. face it rangers arent as popular as s10s. plus s10 have had over 10 years longer with the suspension staying the same for the aftermaret to get after them.
