    Hey Guys..

    Been a while since I've been on the forum. I'm back with a question for you MaxTrac users:

    I was never too impressed with the ride of my 5100s (.85")/Eibach/spacer setup up front. Looking at throwing MaxTracs on and wondering what setup you guys would recommend with the goal being a comfortable street ride. Nowadays the truck drives 40-50 miles per week on the freeway.

    Thanks!

    Really?


    I loved my 5100s set at .85 and the one 1/4 spacer for the lean. My current setup is pretty much the same due to being boss coilovers. Running the same springs. I put my old Eibach springs on the wifes 4runner and it rids awesome

    Is there no way to run the spindles with 16" wheels? I'd hate to have to buy a new set of wheels.

    I have a few mods
    If your 16s have AT LEAST 4.5" backspacing, they will fit as they have less than the required 4.75". (Which is good). My 16s are 16x8 with 0 offset and 4.5" BS and without spacers, they cleared the spindles. Not much room, but they clear. I emailed maxtrac about it and they said they'd look into it or something lol

    Hmmmm... My stock SR wheels are approximately 5.0 backspace. So a 3/4" spacer should work... Correct?

    Might as well just get a set of Spidertrax 1.25" spacers at that point lol. Very reliable and an awesome product. Because I thought the stock wheels for the tacoma were 5.5 regardless of what style they were

    No Sir, Only if you're using the MT Spindles to get your lift, the beauty of the MT Design is you retain your factory geometry negating added expense of after market UCAs.

    If you look closely at the 1st pic you'll see my UCAs are still very much, Completely Flat.
