3rd Gen Maxtrac Spindles

Honestly, Ive got no idea.

Just read some reviews on the Block/Shock combo and they all say it was terrible lol.

 

hmmm I might have to look at doing that.

 

Lots of options when you go through Headstrong.

Seriously cant say enough positive things about them.

I have to run, but feel free to keep asking questions!

​

 

Waiting to do my tax return and splurge on 4" maxtracs and dakars, will definitely post pix of the results

 

​

 

Okay guys...Should I go with just the 4in spindles and get rid of my 2in spacer? Or keep the 2in spacer and add the spindles to get a total of 6 inches and a 4" block in the rear?

 

I would take the spacers out and run Maxtracs and Dakars and be done with it lol.

 

Any other opinions?! Lol jk bro, if I had the money to go along with the spindles I'd pull the trigger but not in the budget right now.

 

I agree with @ChadsPride, get rid of the spacer lift. Later if you want more lift you can add a better option like Bilstein 5100's.

 

I have a 3/2 rough county lift on my taco now. Ripping out those shitty spacers and I'm going to do the 4" spindles. Don't know if I wanna do bilstein shocks though. Is it really worth it? And is anyone getting their 3rd gen level with a 4"/2" set up?

 

I have a 2" rough country spacer right now but going to get the 4" spindle kit. I thought about it and going to keep the 2" spacer, get the 4"/2", replace the rear block with a 4" and make it a 6"/4".

Once I get a feel for how the truck sits with the spacer I'll replace it with new Bilstein adjustable struts and Maybe add an AAL to the rear to make it leveled. Make it 6"/ 5-1/2" or so lol

 

Question, when doing the spindle lift, did anyone have to do the carrier bearing drop? I know the kit from HeadStrong comes with it but don't know if it's necessary...

 

Did you have to do the carrier bearing drop kit?

 

Yes, Im running the OME CB Drop. For sure helped mitigate my take of vibe. Cant even notice it now.

No driveshaft spacer needed for me.

 

How easy was the install?

 

The carrier bearing drop? Very easy, took 5min. Just do one side at a time (2 bolts total)

 

hmmm I might just stick with the spindles and get the OME CB drop kit.

 

@ChadsPride how much lift did the Dakars give you? almost 3? did it level it out?

 

Right at 3" - Have not really settled honestly. I keep an empty bed 100% of the time.

 

No sir
