Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

Should have posted on this thread awhile back but totally forgot. I lurked this thread back in March and actually contacted Marie about my suspension setup. Also made a post in the @HeadStrong Off-Road thread. Well finished the lift back in June in the driveway with 0 experience with friends that had muscles to help me with my seized Stock Components since 07. It's nice to finally meet yall and enjoy the photos.

 

That is a damn fine setup you have man!! How is the ride?? Did you paint your Maxtracs?

 

Rides great boss I have zero complaints has a firmer ride on the road which is what I wanted. No sway bar attached after install, not really needed from my personal expirence. Negative did not paint the spindles haha.

 

Looks damn good!!!!

Did you have any driveline vibrations after the lift? Install carrier bearing drop? Axle shims?

Sorry for all the questions. I have Maxtracs and Dakars leaf pack sitting in the man cave. Just want to have all my stuff straight before I install them.

 

The vibrations that I felt were very minor not like as if being shaken more like a little wiggle at 0-15 but it isn't all the time maybe I'm just picky and it's just the engine lol. Only installed the OME CB drop. No shims. No problem with the questions just wandering them in between my workout breaks.

 

Get it man!!!!

 

Yes sir! New to the gym so I'm working on the basics. Super weak but hopefully I'll grow gradually!

 

I need to get back in there!!!!

 

Do it! It's fun trying to get swole.

 

Random. And I searched and probably missed it.
But looking at some wheels. Have a spindle lift. Curious if I can get 16s or not. Some people seem to have them but I can't figure out how

 

@Alfuh is running 16's. I think you'd need a pretty shallow backspace or would need wheel spacers. Maybe Alfuh will chime in.

 

All you need is 4.5" backspacing to get the 16 to fit. I ran without my 2" spacers and they cleared just fine. Not much room, but they cleared

 

Hmmm some trd trail teams wheels a guy with an FJ wants to sell me..... it's def tempting even tho they are 16s

 

if you have to, throw a 1" wheel spacer on there

 

But you didn't have to do that right?

 

no, because my backspacing is less than what maxtracs call for. Mine are 4.5" backspacing and maxtracs call for 4.75 at minimum for a 17

 

So I just gotta figure out the back spacing of the fj wheels and I'll know for sure. Thanks bro!

 

pretty much, no problem

 

All I can find is an offset of 15mm... but nothing on backspacing... hmmm
