    Not really, Just said they had their "Best Guy" on it for three hours and couldn't get it within spec. He then rambled on about frame bending or something. It was the service shop manager just talking outta his @$$!! He then said that this happens when you modify the suspension blah blah blah. But for starting $300 we can put it on the frame puller. To which I replied, "Not this cowboy!!"

    Yeah I hope so. Should know by monday. If not I'm ripping out the spindles and returning them and going back to stock. I'm over the headache and the ride quality.

    Dang it man.

    the spindles shouldnt have changed the ride quality any.

    But if you are talking about the alignment then its understandable

    No the spindles with OEM struts are smoother than the toltec coilovers so thats a win there but the alignment and driveline vibration from my messed up tires are driving me nuts.

    My 7th Maxtrac install is in the books. He left aftrr the front was done so he could make his alignment appointment & was gonna come back to do the rear but a family emergency came up while he was waiting for the alignment to get done so rear will be another day.

    5100's are set at .85, right now front measures 26.25 but needs to settle.

    I have a few mods
    helped a buddy the other day get his Fox Coilovers and TC UCAs installed. He already had Maxtracs on...but upgraded everything else lol. Kinda funny how I have 35s and my front end still sits lower than his front end does with 33s haha. granted he didnt lower the preload and it still needs to settle in

    Maxtrac 4" kit Bilstein 5100's Mastercraft 305/70/16
    Just got around to measuring. @desertrunner24

    Stock
    Driver Front - 20"
    Passenger Front - 20"
    Driver Rear - 22"
    Passenger Rear - 22"

    After Lift
    Driver Front - 29"
    Passenger Front - 29"
    Driver Rear - 28"
    Passenger Rear - 28"

    The 305/70/16 tires gave me about +2" in the front and rear so overall lift in the front ~7"
