Need a little help figuring something out

Lance, work at your pace. I'm just here to help.

On another note, I have been doing some spindle research for you. I found spindles that achieve a slightly lower KPI & shorter steering arms, but overall they are too short for optimum geometry & big brake options are limited.

I found spindles that have the same KPI, are taller, use bigger bearings with a stronger spindle, offer better brake options, but are too long above the spindle & too short below it.

Lastly, I spec'ed out some custom spindles that do it all, but cost $600 with bearings, but will require a hub/rotor change. If you're upgrading brakes, it may justify the expense. Once we map out your front suspension geometry, I can better advise you if they'll be worth it or not.

A few advantages to think about for now are:
* Much quicker steering, without buying a new steering box.
* Bigger spindle pin & bearings ... safer, less camber deflection under load.
* 12" x 1-1/4" wide, combination rotor & hubs available drilled & grooved around $125 each.
* Easier to get the caster above the KPI.

Let me know if you have questions on measuring suspension points.
