Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Absolutely, not too worried about the CMC. tons of people on here have done it. Just got to wait until my tires burn up lol.

 

Loving my setup right now

 

Anyone spindle a third gen? Not unfamiliar with these spindles my last two second gens were spindled and I loved it. Just want to see how it looks

 

I think I saw pics of a red double cab with 35s when I was searching google. I'll look when I get home

 

Check this one out, I know he's on here but can't remember his TW name.

That's the one!

 

Ive seen those two already but I wanted to see a more realistic one. Personally those two look more street trucks if anything, so they dont really sell for me.

This was my last



and my first

 

Yeah definately a street truck haha. 4" blocks, and hardly any sidewall.
Your last 2 look great! I see your in phoenix, Let me know if you decide to go the spindle route and need a hand installing.

 

Ya for sure man! It would be my third time installing haha. I had 2.5 coilovers, 3" all pro leafs and the Bilstein 5100s but it did the job

 

I've read just about all the pages here! But I know some of you are experts and could help me out haha! But I bought a set of maxtrac spindles used off a member here on TW.

I would like to put the spindles on and billies up front set at an inch of lift so it would be a total of 5 inches up front and I'm unsure what to do on the rear. I can't afford a new leaf pack (as I'm on a college budget) so I was thinking about putting a 2 inch aal from wheelers and an inch block with a set of extended fox remote resivors I bought from here also.

So my questions are:
1) Will that work for the rear? I don't mind if the rear is a tad bit lower from the front.

2) What hardware for the front will I need since the previous owner didn't provide any (I know I needed 4 inch extended brake lines)

3) Is there anything else I need for the front and/or rear?

Thanks for all and any information you can provide me with, I appreciate and am open to all help and suggestions

 

That should work just fine for the rear.

Damn, we would have to find you the hardware count online. I tossed my instructions.

You could always do a 2 inch Block in the rear

Thats going to be an awesome set up! I would like to do some Bilsteins in the front also. Just on a budget myself

 

1) That should work just fine. I'm not sure you'll get 2" out of an aal, seems like most are 1.5". I think it's 1.5 with the tsb springs & 2" with the non-tsb springs. To be level I think you'll want to be around 3" in the rear. Like @ChadsPride said you can use a 2" block with an aal & that should put you around 3.5", in theory. Another option would be just a 3" block.
2) this it the parts list from the 6" kit but has all the bolts listed. The Web site & phone number are there so you can call & it may be a possibility they sell you the bag of hardware. Or maybe @maxtracbob will chime in & can help.

3) after you get the hardware you should be set for the front. If the spindles aren't painted you're gonna want to clean & put a few coat of paint on them so the won't rust. As for the rear you shouldn't need brake lines but look into a bracket to raise the lines off the rear end to keep slack in them. Also you may want a carrier bearing drop, I would say look into getting a driveshaft spacer but don't think 3" will be enough to worry about the driveshaft pulling out of the transmission.

 

That is very useful information. I looked a little on their website for that list but I didn't look hard enough, thank you very much! I will email them and see if I can get the needed hardware as well as brake lines otherwise I'll just get it from the local hardware store.

And I figured I wouldn't get a full 2inches out of the add a leaf which is why I was debating a 1.5" block but I'm really unsure and don't want to have to buy multiple blocks

 

Are you lifted any now?
From the factory our trucks are usually about 2" lower in the front, that's why I say you want to be around 3" in the rear it the front is gonna be 5". It's funny I just measured center of hub to fender on my son's taco tonight, front is 20.5" & rear is 22.25" so that's 1.75" difference.

 

I just have a spacer leveling kit on the front right now

 

#1 I'd rather have "bro lean" than blocks in the rear. Personal preference thing though. Add a leafs work fine for a while. Definately a good budget option. How hard do you beat on your truck?

Looks like you got the rest figured out already.

 

I don't beat on it that hard. I mostly highway drive to work and to the grocery store and then about 1 or 2 weekends a month go hunting or driving on mountain roads but no hardcore wheeling

I'm only thinking about using a small block just to help keep the bro lean to a very minimal thing
