I had a problem with the original locking nuts not staying in place, now the stage 8s aren't. Bad spindle? Should I dremel the groove down more? Burn the jeep down?
 
It sounds like a bad spindle. Probably had some OEM stuff come loose in the past and damage the lip of the groove.
 
You need a new spindle brother. Looks like the Stage 8s did their job. Kept your wheel on.
