Hey max do you make spindles for the hardbodys?  if so what wheel size do have to run?  I thought on the taco's you had to run 20's but i wasnt sure if that was just because of the design or if it was sensless to use your spindles on anything smaller?  The reason my asking is the camber on HB's are pretty bad and I'm just looking to roll low and new chew tires...  im looking to run 18's with a 225 35 tire....

I haven't had a call for the Hardbody spindles yet, but I am always interested in expanding my offerings. I agree that they could benefit fron a good 4" drop probably. If you are interested in a having me build a set let me know.

max would it be possible to run hiems on all 3 connecting ends to the spindle but have the hiem vertical as to have no binding issues Im running 22's on my 99 ranger and have been having a bad luck or broken balljoints lately and I use teh moogs with the elipitical pattern so I get the most travel I can. thanks for any info you can give

If I'm understanding you correctly, Yes. You can run all of the joints so that there is no travel bind. Keep in mind that they will limit steering tho.

would heims be limiting the steering equal to or more than uniballs? im considering building my own arms using uniballs vertically but if i could use heims for a fraction of the cost and get the same results would be ideal but they seem like they would restrict the steering more than uniballs. OR are there high misalignment spacers for heims like there are for uniballs? similar to this setup below but how would you recommend mounting the heim to the spindle in a vertical position? mount the heim into the spindle then make the arm have mounting tabs? could the heim come loose if its just bolted in?  hydroholics.net deserves the credit for these NOT ME as much as i would like to have built them

thats what I was thinking as long as you put some high missalignment spacers in there I would think there should be enough steering just as much as having a shock mounted up front max as long as I keep the pivot point in the same spot as the factory I should be fine on the front end geometry right?

what size heims would you suggest for the control arms to the spindles and for the tie rod end
