Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Volcom I'm sure you got my exaggeration of 10k foot pound so I won't comment on that. I did the math quickly before I ordered the spacers. Just nice to get some reassurance after you drop $100 on them. As far as new wheels with different offset I think I'm going to get some trd "beadlocks" so they shouldn't stick out too far. I may get 2" rear spacers to even the stance

 

Haha I was just messing with you brother. Those beadlocks are nice!

 

Nice truck!
Out of topic.. but what kind of headlights are those?

 

I am contacting headdstrong offroad to but a set of 5100 adjustable struts and rear 5125 shocks for my maxtrac 4"lift kit..

My question: they told me that i need to make sure that the rear brake lines dont get to tight when fully extending the shocks,, they told me that they sell a re locator for the brake lines 45dlls... should and do i need to buy thaat?

thanks

 

HeadStrong also sells their EXT rear brake lines for $60 Dolla make you Holla with free shipping, just get those and be done with it mang . . .

 

Volcom, any luck finding a truck??

 

I'm still working on getting back fully to stock. Need to get my bumper and fenders painted. Tomorrow I'm pulling the front coilovers to take them back to the shop that assembled them to have them reassembled, since they didn't do it right the first time. They didn't use any washers so that shock shafts are just sticking straight up out of the shock towers, not providing any dampening whatsoever. They agreed to reassemble for free though and admitted their fault.

Once paint is done I'll be hitting up dealers for a good deal on a 2015 probably. I'm trying to have my Supercharger installed before I pick up, so if I can get them to cut back on the labor charge I'll buy

 

Ordered my 6.5" Maxtrac kit yesterday! Would yall recommend wheel spacers?

 

How she sat with just the maxtrac 4" kit


After adding toytec Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks in the front set at 0" and icon tubular uniball control arms


I'll take a side profile pic tomorrow when it's not so dark outside

 

got a link to that kit?

 

nice f'ing truck! what size tires?

 

Awesome looking truck.....alittle confused about your setup. So you have 4 inch lift spindles with a 3 inch lift on top of that? Totaling 7 inch lift? How's the ride? Why not do a drop bracket? Doing some research before I lift my 2015

 

because a drop bracket lift is designed for 4wds so their CV axles arent angled to fuck. its useless on a 2wd since we dont have front diffs or CV axles. this way, you can get lift spindles and then a regular 3" lift on top of that to get 7" of lift. plus it rides better as well and is usually cheaper at the same. you can go with coilovers to get adjustability if you dont want 7" of lift. in my opinion, drop bracket lifts are pointless on 2wds since we have the ability for lift spindles then pair that with a regular well riding 3" lift....it's really awesome

 

I would get some so you can get some stance goin on and not look like you're on stilts lol. Most popular are spidertrax 1.25" spacers

 

Thanks for the info! I always thought anything past 3 required a db. i never ventured past a 3inches on my previouse first gen so I'm a newbie at anything past that

 

no prob man! always nice to help! but remember....ONLY 4wds require a drop bracket past 3"s of lift. 2wds do not, spindles ftw!!!!

 

Ok so I just drove my truck since lifting and the drive line vibe is pretty strong. I installed all pro standard springs and got 4 inches of lift. Yes 4. No they aren't expo's. I promise I got 4 inches. Now the problem is what degree shims do I get in combination with a carrier bearing drop. I'm trying to not unbolt the driveshaft if at all possible.

 

Majority of the time it will be the ujoints are shot. considering your truck is an 05, like my '06, my ujoints were shot and completely gone and thats what was causing 90% of my vibs. check the ujoints to make sure they arent blown before purchasing anything. if they are, then thats what youll have to replace, id suggest replacing all 3 at the same time if that is the issue, if they seem fine, id get the CB drop first before getting shims. because the Allpro leafpacks usually dont need them, I put them on before I realized that my ujoints were the reason my vibs were there. I got the CB drop and that helped a bit, then I got the driveshaft spacer that put the DS back into place where it was supposed to be

EDIT: this is what 2 of my 3 ujoints looked like

 

Thanks I will inspect them further. I will be ordering a drive shaft spacer and a carrier bearing drop soon in will look into u joints

 

U joints seem fine. Only play in the driveshaft is from backlash in the diff
