I had the 2" spindles in the front and i am not a fan of them. The ride is very nice in the front but u cant go under r20 rims. I like the 18s lol.

wondering if any1 had some front 2" springs they dont want/trade/buy/sell for my 2" spindles. please PM me.

i would recommend spindles to anyone who carries about ride quality. but if you dont care i would recommend the springs... they are x2 easier in every way.

You should be able to use 18s with the spindles even 17s fit you just have to grind down the bolt a little bit

Like said above, 18's will clear without any problem. There are tons of guys running spindles with 17's after grinding down that bolt.

You wont have to do anything to clear 18's. You only have to grind the bolt down if you plan to go down to 17's.

unless the spindles you have somehow have changed from previous ones then you should fit 18s with no problem at all

Which ever you got handy at the time. Take the wheel off and take off the excess bolt at the bottom of the nut.
