Much needed help with Fabtech spindle install!!

[J C]

I am installing my fabtech lift spindles today and I have a few questions. First, i know the instructions are for a 2001 Ranger Edge, so how closely do i have to follow the modification steps? for example, do i have to cut off the steering block from the lower control arm, and also, do i have to grind off the out lip of the lower control arm? The kit also came with what looks like a replacement for the steering blocks, are these necessary? Any other tips would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks in advance.

yes you will need to cut the lower lip off of the control arm (pretty much just just grind it flush), also i did not use the steering bumps

thanks clay, any problems thus far that you have experienced with the setup? How about the ABS sensors, do they reinstall nicely?



Were you able to get your old spindles off your ball joints or did you replace them? If you replaced them, how hard was it to get the ball joints pressed back in?
