Check the classifieds there is a front end there, they are asking 500. I've seen trailing arms and spindles on ebay go for over 300 dollars. Here in NCal the usual going price is around 200 when you can find one and generally it has to be rebuilt. Hope this helps |

Gussetted beam, beam welded shock towers. higher spring rate torsion springs, 3" lift from torsion arms that have ball joint that all point down. Camber adjuster is much larger as is the spindle and the list goes on. You get what you pay for. 2,000 Thing beam worldwide available ~~~ 10 million T-1 beams out there |
