    so i installed my 4" maxtracs a few weeks ago along with some king resi's. while driving at full lock of the steering wheel, I'm hearing awful popping and grinding noises from my front suspension. when I look at it, nothing is even close to binding. anyone else with this problem?

    Alright so Im bored at work, read through the first 38 pages and saw alot of nice lifts and results! Once I read that far it got repetitive as the same questions kept poppin up :eek:
    Finally decided to type out how the install went with these bad boys. Originally I thought the easy part was gunna be the brake lines so I saved it for last (Obviously this was a mistake!). Taking the hub off was abit tricky but everything was smooth until I got to the actual installation of the maxtracs. It became clear that on the backside driverside spindle, where the UCA ball joint bolt goes in, the spindle was not milled out enough to even get a socket onto it....eventually we rigged it to where we got it to work but it was a headache for about 10min.
    Then moving onto the brake calipers...driver side and passenger side bolt mount points/holes on the spindle for the calipers also was not milled out enough to allow for the bolts to slide into the holes. had to grind off some of the brake caliper to allow it to slide all the way onto the mount point and allow the bolt to slide in.
    Soooo....onto the brake line headache! Some may have noticed i posted an emergency thread for help gettin the brake line nuts off....reading the beginning pages of this thread would have been helpful :rolleyes:. At the time, I had already rounded off the fantastic peice of shit aluminum brake line nut on the driver side. I did not have flare nut wrenches (or even knew what they were) nor a pipe wrench. It was getting dark, the closest vato zone or store that carried any of that was about 30min away, and I had work in the morning so the time called for desperate measures. I actually unbolted the brake line mount bracket attached to the frame and stretched the hard lines straight down (yes i know not the greatest thing to do) BUT this gave me a ton of extra brake line while still using the stock lines! We just simply tac welded the bracket to the bump stop mount and called it a day.
    Overall, I feel like everything else near that spindle needs some super beefin up cuz the maxtracs are so damn beastly lookin! I love the height and clearance i got out of it. I still need to raise the rear quite a bit, more than likely expo leaf pack.
    My current setup: 5100s set at 0 with OME 885s and da maxtracs. rear has TSB 4 leaf pack with 1.5" Toytec AAL. My current tire set up: 285/70R17 Nitto TG in front, same size BFG ATs in rear with XD Cranks 5.0 BS -12mm offset NO WHEEL SPACERS!

    Can you post up a front, head on shot? I am curious how much your front tires stick out with that backspacing. Also, do you have 12mm offset or negative 12mm offset??

    Thanks
