The STUB spindles are shorter spindles that we don't carry, but if you are looking for an axle setup that's great for off-road applications the Timbren Axle Less kits like the # ASR2KHDS03 is a really great way to go. This kit has a 4 inch lift built into it and combined with fact it doesn't have a cross tube that runs between the wheel assemblies it gives you really great ground clearance.

It's a pretty unique setup but I attached a review video for more info on it for you to check out.
