    finish doing my lift last friday, took about 5 hours with a friend at his shop....6 inch maxtac lift with 5100 billies in da front, rear was just blocks and maxtrac shocks. im gona change out the rear once the shocks get sloppy ( i might as well use it since i paid for it) and go with 5100 billies and leafs rims are 17x9 with 285/70/17 toyo AT IIs rides smooth no vibes no rubbing except when reversing i rub on the front bumper plastic that hangs down about 3-4 inches..i didnt remove it yet

    When you put the maxtrac spindles in and do a 3 inch add a leaf in the back do you have to upgrade the rear shocks or can you keep the stock ones

    Finished this a couple weeks ago. Purchased from HeadStrongOffRoadfor a great price, customer service and fast shipping. Install is pretty straight forward except when the brake lines wouldn't come off. Big thanks again to Chris for the help. Truck rides like a Caddy in the front with no sway bar and all the preload backed off the shock.

    Sits even. 24" center hub to fender in the front and back with a TSB add-a-leaf and extended bilstein 5100 shocks that have been in the back for 50K miles now.

    Ordered my kit from headstrong yesterday since I decided to keep the truck. Headstrong hooked me up with a great deal on the full 4" kit shipped to florida. Should be here Saturday and I'm installing it Sunday. Running 295/70r17 tires on stock sport wheels. Also ordered a 50" light bar, had my exhaust done yesterday, my air filter will be here Wednesday and a supercharger is going on next month. Can't wait.

    Im pretty sure you are referring to Cody's picture? If so I know what he has, as that is my foot in the picture. But I was asking the guy I quoted which has no pictures... :notsure:

    Lots of chrome
    Little preload on COs (heck none if you want), plenty of lift and uniballs centered within cup having plenty of movement in both directions, you got to love lift spindles and 2wd trucks for this.

    How much do the tire stick out extra in the front when installing The spindles? My wheels already stick out just a hair(Perfect look IMO) and i dont want it looking all mix-match.

    Thanks.
