If the pic of them shown is accurate, they have the steering arm made as part of the spindle, which makes me wonder if they are merely Dakota spindles ... even though they list different part numbers for them.
If they are indeed a bolt on replacement for the 1/2 ton Dodge spindle it is a better way to go, for sure.
I would go back to stock springs and the spindles, get rid of my cut coils.
It takes gasoline to interest me.

Are they cast or forged? The price seems like cast which I'd be leery of.

Thinking about these for my 92 D150, what else has to be changed besides the spindle? I see a lowered brand x short bed on my commute to work and always think Wow ! that looks good!

They are spindles for a Dakota. These have been offered by AIM for 25+ years. The steering arm is shorter than a stock Dakota so it will clear the factory 15" wheels on a Dakota. The factory arm on a Dakota is shorter than the factory arm on a Ram so these are basically 2 "steps" shorter. You will experience steering issues to some degree.
Cheeto It's not perfect. It's not correct. It's not yours!

How does your truck ride with the cut coils? My son wants to lower his RC...
