Can anyone tell me difference between a combo and link spindle?

Combo spindles are link pin spindles, only bigger and stronger. you can get them in standard height or in 3 in lift. And the actual shank of the spindle is usually cromoly if they are well made. did i forget anything?SHMO,Brad?

no C shaped carrier to limit turning radius, larger spindle OD for larger wheel bearings

My spindles have stops, sort of but my tires hit the beam before the spindles stop.

Are the larger ODs the same size as ball joint spindles?
What I really want to know is, would a ball joint disk brake hub fit a combo spindle? They seem to be a little less expensive(B/J)

You guys hit on all the points.

probably could have summed it up by simply saying "Heavy duty".....lol

but that leads to the ever present "why?"

Ya, and we like to look like we know what we're talking about. and no i don't believe a ball joint set up will work with combo spindles. I tried and had no luck, thats why i scrapped 4 wheel disk brakes in 4 lug to convert to 5 lug.
