Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Man, I'm not really the one to give advice on tires and weight ratios and 4bangers vs the v6 man.

I personally think you will be fine. It will for sure be more sluggish, but 'should' be ok

 

Not really sure about the 4 banger but if it helps, I re-geared to 4.56 gears when I went up to 315/70/R17. It felt sluggish before and was shifty on hills and now it is much better.

 

Gotcha. Well this is my daily driver, I don't do any wheeling, just to and from work. 99% highway for mine. Do you think that will negate the need for a regear?

Stats on the tires i just ordered:
Mastercraft Courser MXT Radial Tire
305/70R/16
Speed Rating: Q
Weight: 57 LBS
Load Range: E
Ply: 10

 

In theory that's a 32.8" tire, in reality it's probably an even 32. Obviously the weight comes into play as well but I think you'll be OK. You won't be winning any rolling-start freeway drag races and cruise control will hate you but oh well!

 

Phew, ok. that makes me feel a little better. How much was your re-gear? if it ever comes down to that

 

I'm on 32" Toyo AT's and haven't regeared....thinking you quoted the wrong person

Regearing around me (Southern Cali) is nucking futs expensive, the techs use all diamond coated gears & gear oil laced with AB- unicorn blood. I kid I kid, I think it's around $600 on the low end for me but labor is very market-specific and you're a few villages away from me. I say run it as is and see if you can live with it. If you don't haul/tow much then that's in your favor. You can regear at any time....when (not if) you install a locker is a perfect time!

Edit to add: King group buy discount/pricing is announced Now I need to swallow that huge pill!

 

@dumontrider ah damn, my bad! Yeah, i don't tow anything, don't wheel, don't have a shell/bumpers/armor,i don't haul anything but the dog, groceries, and my fishing or hunting shit haha

 

Just throwing my opinion out there... I would not go with that large of a tire with your setup. I really think it's going to cause a lot of problems that you'd rather not deal with.

 

By all means, let me know what you think or what problems you're referring to. I'm all ears.

 

Ok, but first what kind of lift are you running to accommodate that size tire? I think the obvious first issues will be the sluggishness and the possible need to re-gear. I guess if you are OK with that and you can clear without rubbing then why not?

 

I'm going to get (was going to order today but Headstrong is closed this week) the Maxtrac 4" spindle lift, Bilstein 5100 adjustable front shocks, Bilstein extended length rear shocks, and Headstrong 3 leaf AAL along with the necessary hardware (CB drop, extended rear brake lines, top plate spacers for both sides).

 

Dude, I'm sorry. I thought you were going with 35's and now see you'll match right up around 33's. You should be fine with a little trimming on the front. You'll be a little sluggish but nothing major.

 

@TacoMaxxxx oh hell no haha, def not 35's. ~33's are what i ordered this morning. I'm fine with trimming and i expected some slight power loss just due to the increased weight of the 305's going from 245/75r/16

 

You should be fine. I ran 285's on stock gears with the 2.7 for a year and a half and mine total weight for wheel and tire was right at 100 pounds a peice

 

Awesome! Thanks bud. I just calculated mine too, wheel and tire will be 88LBS. Tires will be here tomorrow, wheels by Friday, then placing my order with Headstrong next week!

 

My god I am so tempted to make this drive for this deal thanks for the tag @desertrunner24

Would i need UCA's if i ran 5100's with OME885 coils along with the maxtrac spindles?
