Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

@Slumerican

Feel free to ask any questions you like!

It looks like you truck already has a lift...is this correct?

 

Well thank you, and yes I have a 3in rough county spacer lift. Truck still has rake and I hate the quality of the spacers. Want to do the 4in spindle lift.

 

Just do it man!

I would get in touch with Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road

She will put together a really nice kit for ya that wont break the bank.

I would suggest swapping the rear shocks and blocks that come with the Maxtrac kit for Dakar leafs and Extended Length Bilstiens

Thats what she did for me and I love it so much!

 

Cool, I'll have to look into that. How much does she usually charge for something like that ?

 

I cant remember exact numbers but my entire kit was as much as some fancy coilovers cost

 

I have Icon co's and Icon aal good for a couple inches. I went this way because I wanted a suspension upgrade but didn't need the lift spindles provide. I also have 16" FJ wheels and am not willing to give them up. I am considering Maxtrac in the future so I can run bigger tars. This will be several years down the road but I'm planning now. Is there anyway to keep my 16" wheels with Maxtrac? I'm also worried about a stiff ride in the back when the leafs are replaced. I really enjoy the ride of the Icon aal and don't carry much weight. Although it seems to be growing....lol. I appreciate any input from you find TW members!

 

You technically CAN run a 16" wheel. Theres guys on here that do.

 

Spacers I guess??

 

Yessir. Not sure how large of ones tho.

 

I don't plan on doing anything till I rebuild the coilovers in 40,000 miles, so who knows, I might go to a 17" by then.

 

Damn!!!! Yeah. I love my spindle setup. Got instant lift without having to worry about UCA's or alignment issues AT ALL.

I also plan on adding King/ADS coilovers down the road at some point.

 

Depends on the wheel. Running 16's and the spacers I have are in the rear to even out the width to the front.

 

I think the TRD FJ SE wheels are 4.5 bs? They may work......

 

​

 

I'm running the stock 16's which have ~5.5" bs with a 1.25" spacer. Really I only needed a 1" spacer

 

Finally got a break from the rain. Feels good to be clean

 

Dang she's looking good!!!!

 

Alright so i'm actually going to pull the trigger on getting my lift done. I just wanna make sure that i got everything correct, after i've done all the reading on this forum. I just wanna make sure i got everything. So this is what im going to do...those of you can chime in if i am missing anything...
I have got me a 2011 2wd prerunner.
Maxtrac 4" spindle kit (will up grade to billie's all around later and dakar leaf pack)
1/4 in. spacer for the taco lean
65mm x 65mm drivetrain spacer? or carrier drop kit? (unsure about this)
1.25 in. wheel spacers (will be sitting on 16" trd pro rims 285/75/16)
I will be doing the install myself...am i missing anything? Thanks in advance...

 

Are you stock right now?

Are you changing out the front coils/shocks?

If no to the second question....You wont need the .25" spacer for the lean as thats for aftermarket coils that are not Pre-compensated for the lean
