2WD lift spindle

How many 2WD owners would like to lift their front end 3" with a lift spindle. I have approached Doetsch Systems, who are around the corner of our shop in El Cajon, CA, on what it would take to manufacture some lift spindles for our trucks. Rick, who I spoke to, said that he's no aware of any request for the spindles for the 2500 but if I was to get about 50 orders they would make them for us. A deposit would be required, to set up the tooling and start production, and price of the unit would depend on how many are ordered but for starters it be under $500. You can also get an additional 3.5" of lift for a total of 6.5" with a upper control arm kit and taller spring coils or add-on spacers. I have a control arm kit install with Day Star 2.5 coil spacers, this combination gave me 3.75" of lift, the front is now 1" higher than the rear. There are smaller spacer for less lift. The shocks had to be replaced for longer ones. The truck rides and handles the same way as before the lift. Please contact me via E-mail or PM, pmadrid13@cs.com, so I can keep track of the request. Once I have a figure of how many orders, I'll walk in their office to set the deal with Rick.
