Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

@rainyben45 Not yet, waiting for the tax return to drop any day now and then i'll be giving Headstrong a call. I'd say 95% of everything i'm getting is going to come from them, minus wheels and tires. If you'd like i can try and PM you the excel list I've drawn up. If nothing else it might give you something to go off of.

 

Hahaha mine already did and I got a hole burning in my pocket for my taco

 

@rainyben45 Screw it, no need for a PM as I'm sure this might help other new members out some day.

 

Nice!!! I would drop that Progressive AAL and get Dakars IAAP

 

LOL! @ChadsPride I was waiting for it!

 

I know I know, I wont say it anymore brother.

 

Sweet! That's very planned out

 

And you wont need that top plate spacer for the lean if you are using stock coils

 

HA @ChadsPride no worries man! just giving you a hard time.

@rainyben45 Thanks man! I just wanted to take the time to do it right the FIRST time. And with $16K left on the truck...if i'm gonna $2500 into it for parts and not the principle...better damn well be the right stuff haha

 

@ChadsPride really? Well hot damn. Yes, for now just stock coils. I tip my cap to you Sir for saving me $52!

 

Yessir!!! The stock coils come from the factory compensating for the lean.

Aftermarket coils are not that way, though.

SO....If you use your stock coils you wont need em

 

@ChadsPride Awesome! Well actually you've just saved me $72 now that i can scrub the two plate spacers and the extended length studs!

 

You got it dude!!!

 

@ChadsPride So without those, my new measurements (in theory) will be 25.75" front and 26" rear. Will that 1/4" be that noticeable? Or will the rear settle a bit over time to where its about even?

 

So, you were going to use the top plate spacers for lift or for the lean?

Because looking back I see 2 of them on your spreadsheet like they were to be used for extra lift?

Now Im confused lol

 

Hmm I am wondering how hard it is to assemble the 5100 front struts with the stock coils at home

 

Both!

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol. In that case you might still want them if they are for lifting purposes lol


BUT, if you were going to use it just for the lean (with aftermarket coil) you would only need the one on the drivers side

 

I've heard mixed feelings/reviews. There are ways to do it by yourself by renting a spring compressor and another method that's slipping my mind. If you don't know anyone local that can help you i would just play it safe and have a shop do it. Granted, that's going to cost you some $$$

 

@ChadsPride Yeah i wanted them originally for the lean but if they are going to put me slightly nose high, then i am all good with getting them!
