    So I have got my maxtrac spindle lift in the mail and I've been doing some reading.....

    A lot of folks have UCAS and bigger coils.... Is this a MUST for a spindle lift or can I add this at a later date?

    Right now with my 2" spacer I'm at 22" from hub to fender and I should be at 25" after the spindle lift.... Just wondering before I take my whole truck apart

    Yea that's what I was gonna do..., cause m gonna gain lift.. As well as make a better ride and I would be putting all stock geometry back to where it should be...I figured this was the best route for now..I will probably be adding new coils and new UCAS in the future but for now this is a sweet setup. I'm doing this and ordered my all pro bumpers yesterday.....now I've seen some people running stock wheels and some people running after market wheels...does it matter I've seen several questions but now definitive answers.

    So when I take of my leveling kit and put the spindle kit on I'm going to gain, and then I can get billy 5100's for the front and set them at 1.5 would all work ride and look the best

    It would actually be 1.75 not 1.5 on the bilsteins. 0, .85, 1.75, 2.5 are the settings. If you are after a nice ride what I would do is set the 5100's @ 0 and install some ome 883 coils which will give you the 1.5 lift you are wanting w/o preloading the coils.

    Would it be better to buy the coils and the Billy's separate or to get them together like they are sold on the bilstein website

    You will probably have to buy them separate. Not sure if you can order the ome coils installed on the 5100's but I could be wrong.

    I'm gonna go with my spindle and get Billy's and set them at 0.85 and obviously the blocks in the rear that came with the spindle until I can replace it all with the leaf pack. My leafs aren't even close to sagging yet...
