    My bad I was assuming you were 4x4. 2wd standard arms will be fine. They hang a little low without lift spindles

    I'm in the same boat running maxtrac.
    You're a horrible influence. Making people spend their hard earned cash on cool stuff :rofl:
    So maxtrac spindles = no problem with TC or dirt king lowers as long as they're for the 2wd 6-lug correct? Is this the same for stock length or LT?

    You'll need a spacer fabbed. The maxtrac are double sheared, stock are not and you will have a gap that needs to be filled. I know guys they have this setup and a spacer was required. I also talked to TC about this and they confirmed.

    I learned the hard way about checking compatibility 5x. I was told by Camburg that their ball joint uppers would work with my spindles and after install I found out that they do not. The grease just leaks out all over the place. So i have to sell brand new UCA's and move to uniball ones or deal with the grease leaking out and having to constantly maintain them.

    Ok got it. Custom spacer for the lower arm to connect properly. 10-4! Thank you!
    I went with the uniball uppers so no issue here, but that's rough. I initially assumed "well these work with stock uppers and lowers so everything should work with them" but that's clearly not the case.

    Are you sure the spacer isn't required with the non race lowers? The uniball adapter is made of thinner metal than the ball joint adapter on the factory spindles, which the maxtrax retain

    I could be totally wrong. I was told by both a vendor that installs and TC But who knows, there is bad info everywhere.

    I actullay hope your right. I would rather not deal with a spacer. I'm looking into
    Lowers ASAP and would rather not have a spacer of dirt king would just bolt on

    Yes the issue is with the tc arms that use the uniball adapter. Here's the specs on the spacers, taken from @Airdog build thread
