L & H Kustoms Pro Billet Tall Aluminum Spindles

[L & H Kustoms]

L & H Kustoms is proud to announce our new Pro Billet™ Tall Spindles. Designed to fit the 64-72 A body, 67-69 F body, and 68-74 X body platforms, machined out of ultra strong, lightweight 6061 T6511 aircraft spec aluminum with an ultra strong billet spindle shaft machined from 4130 Chromoly steel. They come hard anodized black for the ultimate in corrosion protection. We offer 2 versions, 2” drop and stock height. They are designed to utilize either your factory 69-72 disc brakes components or in conjunction with our C5/C6 corvette disc brake conversion kit which includes billet aluminum hubs and billet aluminum caliper brackets. The tall spindle incorporates a raised upper ball joint to radically improve the vehicles handling characteristics by transforming the camber gain to improve handling. The Pro Billet™ Tall Spindle bolts directly in place of the OEM assembly to either factory or aftermarket tubular control arms, and with the use of hardened SAE660 bronze upper and lower ball joint inserts, any taper can be machined into the spindle.

Features include:

- Tall spindle improves negative camber gain under suspension load
- Machined from ultra lightweight, exceptionally strong 6061 T6511 aluminum
- Press-in hardened 304 Stainless ball joint inserts prevent wear and fatigue
- Revised bolt-on Pro Billet™ steering arm improves bump steer *coming soon
- Direct bolt-on spindle replacement for A-F-X body vehicles
- Available in 2” drop and stock height

Wow, awesome mid-production pics, I just love to see that stuff.
Any chance you would be looking into G-body spindle production?
There is only 1 name in town for those.

Thanks I am working on a G-body spindle (as well as others) and should have it available later this year

Those look good, what kind of pricing are we looking at?

[nicks67camaro]

My questions would be......

1. Cost (w/ steering arms, hubs, and c5/c6 brackets)
2. Tire / Rim interference / any limits on the amount of backspace you can use?
3. Any road tests yet?
4. Availability (with steering arms, hubs, c5/c6 brackets

They look really really nice.

Nick,
1.I am still trying to finalize the cost... I am working with my machine shop on quantity pricing so I can keep the cost as low as possible.
2. there is no limit on backspace on the Tall stock height spindle and on the 2" drop you run into issues beyond a 4" backspace
3. I have had a set on my 1970 chevelle for the last month and have put several thousand miles on them with no problems and my engineer has run several structural tests on them with no issues.
4. They will be in stock ready to ship the second week in November at the latest if not sooner.

Sweet looking part.

Is the spindle pressed in?

What would you estimate the fatigue life of the aluminum in terms of miles?

[L & H Kustoms]

Sweet looking part.

What material and grade is the spindle, and is it pressed in?

John the actual spindle is 4130 Chromoly Steel and it is pressed in as well as retained by a lock nut just as an extra safety feature.

[nicks67camaro]

I'll keep checking for updates. Thansk for the response.

[XLexusTech]

Nice... Keep me posted on the price... any plans to sell a package with hubs stterring arms brakes ect?

I hope to have pricing finalized next week and we have a complete package that will include hubs steering arms and brackets and hope to also have brake kits as well still working on that

[Jarcaines]

Are these going to be C5 hubs like the ATS spindles?

[mdprovee]

Do these have the same benefits as the ATS spindles?

[Eric Howell]

Looking forward to seeing something for the G body/ S10 application.

[L & H Kustoms]

Are these going to be C5 hubs like the ATS spindles?

No they are not C5 Hubs. Our Pro Billet Tall Spindle was designed to use factory disc brakes or Our billet hubs in conjuction with our billet caliper brackets to incorporate the use of C5/C6 corvette brakes as well as ony other manufacturer i.e. Baer,Kore3,Wilwood etc. who makes brake kits to use factory chevelle, camaro or nova spindles. The Benefit to our design is that it allows you to upgrade as money allows. You can gain the benefits of improved handling while using stock brakes and upgrade as you can afford. Our competitors Spindles require you to purchase the spindles brakes and larger wheels all at once which in these tought times is hard to afford. Our spindles offer the same improved geometry benefits as our competitors.

[Eric Howell]

I personally prefer serviceable bearing over divorced hubs.

[GaRys69]

With 17" wheels what backspacing can be used on both the std and dropped?

[TA219]

I cant wait to hear what the price is on this, competition = good for the consumer!
