Damn it man... quite making expensive products that I like!

Couple questions for yeah.
What material are you using to make the spindle from? mild steal or alloy?
Looking at the CAD rendering, it looks like a portion of the spindle is forged / machined?
Is the part heat treated after welding?
How are alignment tolerances held within spec when a large majority of the spindle is welded?
How can I directly compare the strength of this spindle to the strength of the stock spindle?
How many miles and jumps of test have you completed?

Thanks for helping us to be able to push the limits of the raptor and require upgrades such as these!

Can not wait for these to come out. Been waiting for something like this for a long time. Weakest area in front for me and in need of a set when its ready. Looking good so far!

Part that ties in between the uca and lca that also houses the 4wd hub and has the brake assembly mounted to it. Real intricate piece to the suspension

Factory parts aren't always designed for the type of abuse we put them through....Outlaw offers braces to be welded on to the spindles for added support and strength. Essentially, any beefed up suspension deserves beefed up components to go along with it, kinda like aftermarket tie rods. Many more pros to having aftermarket spindles but that's a quick summary on the what and why
