Why Upgrade?
Most bolt-on long travel kits today reuse the factory spindles—leaving a critical weak link in your suspension system. The DRT Fabrication fabbed spindle eliminates this weak point, giving you the missing link in building a bulletproof suspension package.
Our design is based on the factory spindle with no geometry changes, meaning it is compatible with any bolt-on long travel kit designed for OEM spindles (both 2WD & 4WD Tacoma).
Key Features:
Strength & Construction:
- Built from 3/16" & 1/4" A36 steel plate with internal gussets.
- 100% MIG welded for maximum durability.
Steering:
- Standard dual-shear heim steering (outer only) with correct heim center placement—unlike aftermarket conversions that alter geometry.
- Works with factory inner/outer tie rods and steering extenders.
- Includes 3/4" FK JMX12T heim, custom high-angle misaligns, and a rubber boot cover for protection.
Hub Block & Brake Integration:
- Machined from billet steel with integrated caliper mounts.
- ABS sensor relocated behind caliper bracket—protected from damage.
- Stress risers minimized with extensive filleting.
Finish
- Powder coated satin black for a clean, durable finish.
