    That's why you have 5 then you basically added 4 to the inch you had. That's how I have 7", 4 from spindles & 3 from billies with 1/4" spacers. If all you want is 4 then you need to set your billies at 0.

    I get what you're saying @SpruceTaco but all I added to my set up was the spindles and new 5100s. My billies were set at .85 before and after the spindles were installed. So basically with spindles and new 5100s I got 5inches. Hope they settle closer to 27 inches as I really don't want to bump them down to 0

    Took me a couple years, but finally did the spindles. Took off the SAWs and put on bilstein 5100s and ome 886s. The uca looks maxed out so I guess the collar has to go down to the lowest setting. Allpro expos out back. 35x13.5 baja claws.



    Still gotta adjust the alignment somemore. Gonna put my 285s back on and have the alignment done..unless I can get it dialed in better with these. If anyone has a similar setup with the 35s/tc uca/maxtrac, whats the numbers you guys have?

    Looks good man! Sorry can't help with the alignment, have stock UCAs. Can I get some info about your bed rack? Looks like a couple kayaks would fit up there nicely.

    Nice!

    I have dakars (removed bottom overload) and camburg Uca's. The co's are maxed and it still has a slight rake.

    Looking into getting spindles here soon.

    Just hopping after adding back in the overload leaf, it will be close to level with maybe a slight bro lean.

    My friend made it for his truck but he made a flat bed so i took those. Just simply bent, gusseted and painted. I have had my kayak n there, it comes in handy for that and other boards.

    I cant remember if they are on 2nd or 3rd ring up.
    Ill have to take it apart and put it lower. I didnt expect it to be this high, with that much squat.

    ... Not a fan of the Bro lean :headbang:. There doesn't seem to be much option at the rear for leaf packs that eliminate the use of blocks ~ any clarity from ya'all. Seems like Dakars and blocks to get level. Thanks for keeping the discussion on the front going spindles ~ they seem like a no brainer :gossip:

    I bought new front bearings to swap in with the Maxtrac's... gathering the rest

    Maxtracs and Dakars leveled my truck perfectly. It's actually .75 inches higher in the rear, but to the eye....it looks dead ass level and I love it.

    The spindles are gonna give you 4" on top of your CO being maxed out

    Right...

    If I get them, I can always adjust the CO back down.

    Simple spanner wrench will do.
