Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Requirement #1 of owning Maxtrac Spindles and installing on a Tacoma, you SHALL read EVERY page and EVERY comment in this thread

 

No problem!

 

Ok since lift has been finished very minor vibes 10-18. Have the OME CB drop and 3/4" DSspacer. Today tried to add two washers to each side of CB drop. Now have vibes only 18-20 but slightly stronger. Advice? Also with the DS spacer the shaft is tucked in now about 3/8", should I try it without?

 

yeah, try it without it and see what happens, the slip yoke should be flush with the tranny tailhousing

 

also, check all your Ujoints, make sure you have no play in them. the only other thing I can think of is you may need axle shims to push your pinion back down depending on what you have in the rear for lift

 

Yeah I measured after the rear lift and was put 3/4", got spacer was flush but I had not done the front. Now I'm in too far. Gonna pull it see where I'm and and get it shaved down.

 

For got to add I'm running 3degree shims, looks. Like I could've used more there actually but eyeballing it is not sufficient, I'll measure it at work next week.

 

Yeah this is how it's supposed to look. I have the OME CB drop, 3* toytec axle shims, and I think a 0.75" DS spacer

 

this is what my driveshaft used to look like before the spacer, also...the ujoints were what most of my vibs were from lol

 

. before spacer, after, now after front lift

 

yours is so much cleaner than mine under there hahahaha, but your driveshaft looks fine, if you have the CB drop, AND axle shims...im not really too sure other than check your ujoints for any play

 

Yeah just concerned me today to see that it was in about 3/8" I did not notice that after front lift. Guess I did not need 3/4" quite, was over eager ordered before front was done.

 

nah, it should be fine, just as long its not shoved all the way in there lol. because it needs room to move back and forth, hence the slip yoke setup, as the rear axle moves up and down, the driveshaft moves in and out to compensate for the distance changes

 

Ok but how far is all the way up in there, guess then ther is no way to know depending on axle travel

 

i dont know lol, all's I know is yours looks fine where its at lol

 

Need another bit of advice. I get a grinding sound only occasionally at or near full lock. On both sides. It's not the brake bracket I cut that off and it clears the sway bar. Happens in forward only so far.

 

Love my bish. She's got some room for improvement but I love the shit out of her.

 

Any install tips I need to know? Chad mentioned some poor fitting nuts?

 

Mine went great, except for one hardline was over flared and jammed had to replace. My advice get a good flare wrench and start with the brake line first not last. The actual spindle lift goes fast, but you could get buggered by the brakes.
