Warrior spindle and hub swap?

[Nitro Blazer]

Whats the deal on this swap? I bought the spindles and hubs off ebay for almost nothing, I noticed they are a little different. I have heard people call this a hack. It looked like a good idea to me because of the fact that I got the spindles and hubs for like $25 and I can get the complete set of lines and calipers with the master cylinder for pretty cheap under $100. From kits and what not that I"ve seen thats a pretty good price for discs in the front.

The only difference I noticed was that the warrior spinndles are shorter.

I appreciate any input.

If you are going with stock Blaster a-arms, the upper ball joint sockets are not compatable. The Blaster ball joint has a straight shank, where as the Warrior ball joint socket is tapered. I have seen some "fancy" hand drill work done on the Warrior spindle to get the job done, but would not trust it for a long term solution.

Here's the plug...

dont seem like much of a hack to me, drill out the top holes and drill a hole to hold your bolt, you can drill the hole to where its a tighter fit, and with a strong enough bolt to go through it to hold the top ball joint in place, its not that bad just make sure you do it right, or know how to do it and what your doing.

I was looking at complete sets. I bought the hubs and spindles a week or two ago off ebay. Wanted to try them out before I spent the money on the lines, calipers, levers. I've found a few complete from caliper to lever for around $40-$70.

I figure this is much cheaper than getting an 03-06 blaster setup.
