    Agreed. For the most part.
    I have wheeled with Tundras on stock suspension and block lifts. Key is knowing to be careful and not wheel hard, knowing that things will break. I find that if you encourage them to go Offroad they eventually realize the error of their ways and get proper suspension for the fast, technical and even easy trails with no worries.

    What kind of lift did this spindle come from? I'm guessing a drop bracket lift..?
    What happened to cause the failure?

    That herein is the problem! once you go offroading you will want to do more challenging trails or go to far remote places, which spacer lifts should not be tested on!

    I have 3/1 blocks... Wish I had just did suspension. I have been on one trail and was nervous the whole time. Gotta save my pennies now. I love my stance though

    I’m not saying Rough Country isn’t junk but, stock spindles will fail like that too. Hence why some companies sell spindle gussets.

    in my buddies case, yes. Spindle snapped in half, the upper portion got ripped off some where. If you dont off road normal daily use is fine
