Re: Spindle Gusset from a Reliable Vendor

Please note:

These gussets can be installed with aftermarket UCA’s or long travel suspension systems and are not compatible with stock upper control arms. You will loose the use of your sway bar with these gussets.
That's absolutely right, Kurt.

But I've been looking for a smart way to eliminate the front sway bar for greater articulation, while keeping the strength I need.

Here are a couple more candid photos from today:



JESHUA high centered on a rock.



Winch recovery by FJ-OLLIE.

In this case, JESHUA was moving low and slow and there wasn't any spindle damage, but I've seen similar situations where it happened. The ROSE GARDEN Trail is a classic example: You SLIDE down the Rose Garden because it's steep and the rocks are loose. You don't have much control over how fast you hit some of the rock and ledge obstacles.
