Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Always use a tapered block if going that route

 

If I put the adjustable bilsteins on top of the Maxtrac's, do I need to replace the UCA?

 

It depends on the setting, just keep it under the 2.5" setting and you won't need them.

 

Perfect, thank you!!

 

If I put Bilstein 5100's on the front and an add-a-leaf in the rear, what Shock should I use in the rear?

Let me backup ... Presently I have an 06 DCSB Sport 2wd. BFG AT KO 265/70 R 17 tires. Daystar 2.5 inch "lift" with I think a 1 inch block in the rear on original stock shock Bilsteins all around. Nothing else has been done suspension wise. I run a metal rack with a roof top tent in the bed so it seems (at least in my head) that the rear is sagging slightly from the added weight.

I'm not a rock crawler, mostly stay on dirt roads or fairly level ground (,maybe some minor to medium rough spots or creek crossings if I think I can clear them). 85% - 90% of what I do is paved road driving.

Suggestions please ! I know I'm a bit off topic but could use the advice.

 

Here is some photos of my truck ....

 

Nice truck is that the stock setup with just the spindles up front and what setup do you have in the rear?

 

Just to let you know all know I recently redid my rear leaf springs since I was sagging. After adding a f250 spring I was rear high and destroyed my cb and ds. I ditched my 4" tapered block and replaced it with a 1 in block and perfectly level now. Also all my vibes minus small take off vibe Is gone. Adding a one inch Ds spacer. And I'm willing to bet my vibes Are gone. My pinion angle is also almost all the way back to how it should be. So you may want check your pinion angle. And if anyone wants my tapered 4" block pm me.

 

The fun has begun

 

Just need to add some clear

 

Yup figured it out after they came in the mail, and didn't have patience to send back and reorder... I will say though now with tapered 2" block, beefed taco 2.25" cb drop bracket and 1.5 ds spacer all vibes are gone except take off and those are very minimal as well!

 

So ive been looking into getting a set of maxtracs. Right now i have a crappy Revtek coil spacer up front, 3 inch block in the back, and 5100's all around (front set at 0). The back sits exactly 1 inch higher than the front. I would like to keep the rear how it is and upgrade the front end for a better ride and sit level with the back (1 inch higher).

Would removing the spacer, adding the spindles, and setting the 5100 to .85 raise the front enough to sit level with the 3 inch block?

Would the ride be significantly better? or should i save hundreds and just drop the back with a 2 inch block?

 

right now I have the spindles with 5100's @0 eibach 1.6" coils and top plate spacers. Im exactly 1" higher in the front, All Pro standard leafs in the rear. my question is for the guys using the stock coils with no sway-bar. hows the ride and does it roll when you corner? thanks

 

Quick question what top plate spacers are you referring to? Sounds like you mixed 3 different lift components

 

it came with my toytec lift, required for double cab modles for a "full" 3" lift. there 3/4" and a 1/4" spacer. I left them on there when I installed my spindles

 

I don't post in here as often as I perhaps should, but I'm often asked what my lift height is after 4" & Icon 2.5 C/O's. I usually respond with this picture:

 

NICE! Convenient beer storage!

 

Well,
I finally got my Maxtrac spindles (front) & 1.25" Spidertrax spacers, installed on the rear wheels. I already had the Wheelers 3 Leaf AAL & 1" block. Ready to hit some trails! For the observant ones, I still need to align it, secure the ABS lines, & re-install the front skid plate but I'll do that this week.

Special thanks to CJ (my mechanic) & everyone who responded to my PM's regarding the Spindles & the Spidertrax wheel adapters!

 

Cost?
