I bought 3" coil spacers. And went to put them on and now we can't get the spindle to fit on. Do I need a lift spindle or not. I've look on YouTube and there's no video on how to put it on a 2wd.

I am a little unsure of how you cannot get the spindle back on?

depending on how you did this you disconnected on of the ball joints from the spindle or both. you then put the coil spacer on top of coil. then you would use a jack to compress the coil and guide the ball joint back into place then attach the nut and cotterpin.

there is extra 3 inches in there so you will need to compress the coil quite a bit.

All you have to do is unbolt both lower shock bolts and let shocks hang.
Unbolt sway bar links on each side.

Unbolt each upper shock and spring tower bolts.
Jack vehicle up and when high enough removed coil shock and stock spring ring .
Place spacer on and put all back in and bolt upper stuff first then slowly lower till lower shock bolt can be put back in.
Probably want to go with longer and better shocks while doing this.
Bolt the sway bar back too.
Lengthen axle breather hose, unbolt and remove each side brake line bracket for longer brake lines, extend CAD Vac lines.
