4" lift spindles installed

[Deerpaw]

I finally got around to installing my lift spindles yesterday and I am 100% stoked on the outcome. I ended up with 6 inches of lift though and dont understand why...the front measured 25 3/4 before installation and now sits at 31 3/4 from bottom of the rim to bottom of the fender and the rear stayed the same at 29 3/4. Theres now a noticeable amount of rake but im ok with that. The spindles also added about an inch and a half of poke and with the stock spindles the truck had really bad negative camber that 3 alignment shops couldnt correct, that the lift spindles corrected. Overall the truck looks good and rides a hell of a lot better. Just wondering if anyone else had the same outcome? Also the install was pretty simple if anyone has questions let me know!

does your truck have coils or torsion bars up front?
did you change the upper control arms?

It has torsion bars up front and I didnt have to change anything except for the upper bolt and nut that came with the new spindles and of course cotter pins.

thanks.
I've been looking for a way to upgrade the front brakes on my 2005/coil spring Ranger from 11.25 to 12". so I ask a lot of questions about spindle swaps.

FYI, if your front rotors are 12", guard those wheels!!! most wheels like that only fit 11.25 front rotors, about '09-'10 that type of wheel was modified to fit the larger 12" rotors.

Yea the rotor to wheel to spindle clearance is good on my truck, but the spindle to wheel clearance is a little close. The balancing weights on the inside of the rim were rubbing on the spindle on the passenger side at full right lock and rubbing on the drivers side at full left lock. Moved them in a half inch and they're ?
