Where could a fella get a pair of raised Thing spindles? I have tried to contact Bugzyla but have been able to and haven't seen fourm activity from him in years. I also tried to look into blind chicken racing but the one review I read wasn't good, and it doesnt seem like he's up and running either.

This place did my spindles.
I have them off for now, much better for road driving.

I am not certain if they are still in business.

Tweed, now T.I. Designs, used to make Thing lift spindles. They now only offer 3" lift spindles that are just slightly "taller" than stock Thing spindles.
