BOUGHT SOME 3" LIFT SPINDLES FOR MY 03 EDGE. INSTALLED THEM AND FOUND THAT I CAN TURN FULL LOCK BECAUSE THE CALIPER HITS THE LOWER CONTROLL ARM. ANYONE COME ACROSS THIS ISSUE BEFORE? :icon_confused:HOW DID YOU FIX IT? :icon_confused:

I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MYSELF AND NOT BOUGHT SOME BULL SHIT OFF EBAY BUT OH WELL, THEY'RE JUST ON THERE TIL I GET MY CAMBURG KIT

It's a very common problem. just grind a little bit off the lower arm and it'll be fine.

You could put it back to stock.

All caps won't make people care anymore about your lifted 2wd problems than if you had just typed it normal.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!

12 posts and only 1 of them was actually answering or even remotely helpful. Yes, it was in all caps which makes it annoying. 12 people dont need to blow up about it. All that was needed to say about it was one person to say "hey, typing in all caps is ****ing annoying, please stop." I dont see the purpose of "put it back to stock" and "no one cares about your lifted 2wd problems". I really dont understand the whole "your from ohio" remark either. If you cant help, move on.

I HATE IT WHE PEOPLE POST IN UPPERCASE, DON'T YOU?....LOL

I have a Fabtech spindle lift on my 99 Ranger an I never had that problem. I put my lift on in 2000. I bought the Ranger new in July of 99. You turning radius is a bit shorter with the spindle kit, but Fabtech said that in the install instructions....no big deal. I just plan ahead with my turn radius when I see a good parking spot in a tight spot. I run 2 inch longer Springtech coils and I love them. The truck is smooth and handles great. I have a few friends who bought the Springtech spindle lift and they love it. They have had there spindles for yearsas I have and never had any problems.
