Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

If i'm doing minimal off roading will I be alright with just the blocks in back? Is there a world of difference in the 4 inch block as opposed to the 6.5 inch block when it comes to the ride of the truck?

 

I would honestly only do the 4" kit...blocks are not ideal for wheeling. BUT for minimal offroading, a smaller block is ok, if you plan on doing more, id recommend getting an entire new leafpack. But as for the ride, it's still a block, it wont ride a nice as an AAL or a new leafpack, but I guess it's works lol

 

It's about 1/2 inch of rake. The Dakars are the way to go!

 

Does anyone know the bolt pattern and what size bolt for a drive shaft spacer from 4crawler off-road?

 

I just ordered from low range off-road. It is cheaper part and it's triple drilled to fit all the possible drivelines on the vehicle. I stopped looking at the 4 crawler option when I couldn't find the right size like you.

Mine is in my mailbox and I ordered it monday

 

Alright, I think I'll go with just the 4 inch block in the back. Although for piece of mind, I'm kind of thinking of doing the bundle which includes all this stuff. Any feedback on that is appreciated.

Wheels and tires are the next decision. Obviously money factors in with this as well. I'm thinking of taking a cautious approach and getting 33's on my stock 17 inch rims so if I don't like the lift I can get out of it without too much of a financial blow. If I like it I could just do wheels when go through my first set of tires with the lift.

So on the low end, do the Maxtracs with the four inch block, stock rims, 33 inch tires. On the high end the whole bundle and new rims. Thanks for the help!!

 

If you do the Dakars leaf pack you likely won't need a block in the back. 4" up front from maxtrac and 2.75 in back from Dakars and you will be close to level.

 

So I could pick up the spindles and the leaf springs and be set or will I need to change out anything else in the rear? Will everything else stock match up with the leaf pack?

You'd need longer shocks & extended brake lines wouldn't hurt.

 

Take care in measuring as the 65mm x 65mm x 10mm pattern is very close in size to the 66mm x 66mm x 11mm pattern, the big difference will be the flange bolts. The 10mm and 11mm bolts often have "11" stamped on the heads and the wrenching size is the same 14mm head/nut on the 10mm and 11mm factory hardware. Also, these flanges are often in the 4.5" - 5" outer diameter size. Aside from careful measuring of the bolt pattern spacing, you can usually get a pair of calipers on the exposed end of the bolt sticking out past the nut. The end of the bolt is slightly tapered, but the 11mm bolt will measure about 10.6mm in dia. while the 10mm bolt will measure something like 9.6mm in dia. If you actually remove a bolt and check, the unthreaded shank will measure out quite close to the 10mm or 11mm measurement.
[*]If you are sure you have 11mm bolts, order the larger 66mm x 66mm x 11mm spacer.
[*]If you are not sure of your measurements, (it can be difficult to get accurate measurements in the confined space of the installed drive shaft), you can use the 65mm x 65mm x 10mm spacer with the 66mm x 66mm x 11mm flange. How can this be? Well, the holes in the spacer are drilled about 0.5mm oversized as are the holes in the factory flanges. The difference between the 65mm and 66mm bolt patterns are 0.5mm wider on each half, so with the bolt hole sizes, there is enough overlap to fit a 10mm bolt through all the holes. The reverse is not true, however. That is if you actually have a flange with 10mm bolts, the 11mm bolts will not fit in the 10mm hole."

Is there anything in this bundle I don't need?

 

Looks good to me, and that will look damn good installed! Cant wait to see it

 

Technically you can do without the 5100's unless you're looking for more than 4", the Maxtracs are designed to work with the factory suspension.

 

Correct me if im wrong but icon rear shocks should be fine with the dakars?

 

You need to ask foir a shock designed for dakars which i dont know the p/n for atm. Call Chas he knows and can get them cheap.

 

No but you can special order them for dakars. I have a set of never installed icon rear resi's built for a dakar leaf pack thats for sale. Pm me if your interested.

 

So I could take the Bilstein 5100's off this list? Its a bundle price so would it make a huge difference in the bottom line? Thanks for the help Spruce Taco and Iamraiderpower. It's appreciated!!

Didn't know it was a bundle deal, don't know if you can remove them. Like I said earlier technically you don't need them if all you want is 4". On the other hand they will ride better than stock & if you want more lift in the future you'd have that option but adjusting them. Oh & they cost under $200.

 

Here is the part number for the Icons rear RR for dakars. I got mine from SDHQ and this is what was on the box when they arrived.

 

Shocks if your looking to do anything there, need wheel spacers or proper BS wheels. Since the front gets pushed out 3/4" by the spindles you might at least want rear spacers to match up better.
