If I were to make my own King Kong style spindles some time, I need some info. Who ever builds these must be using redilly available spindle spuds, but from what? Chev, Ford, Toyota something. Anyone know?
Also, what are the crossover bearing and seal #'s. Thanks, Dave W.

You can buy the stubs, wheel bearings & seals along with King pins and needle bearing etc. from most offroad suppliers like Kartec, McKenzies, Foddrill etc.

Someone here made a set with full floating hubs from an Ford Explorer.

I used Ford explorer spindles and for the hubs, i copied the ford explorer rotors out of aluminum just to save on weight. they have been working flawlessly so far.
