Default L&H vs. Ridetech spindle?

I've been looking at the L&H spindle and wondering if it functions the same as the Ridetech with the Tru-turn, OR is it just another version of a SpeedTech AFX spindle.

I've got both the L&H spindle and the SpeedTech AFX spindle laying under my desk. They are both nicely designed and manufactured and should offer good performance improvements.
Obviously I am going to recommend our RideTech spindle, but even more importantly...use a complete system. The spindles are only one part of an integrated suspension package that MUST work together to acheive the performance results you should be looking for.
If you want to use the L&H...make sure you use the rest of the suspension system that L&H recommends.
If you are going to use the AFX...use the rest of the SpeedTech system.
If you are going to use the RideTech spindle...please use it with the rest of our control arms and steering linkage.
While there is a probablility that other hybrid combinations might bolt up together, you can be assured that the respective manufacturers have determined the best combination of parts that work together for their particular application.

^^^^ what he said.
only thing i would add is that L&H has no control arms, and either the Ridetech or Speedtech arms would work.
