    I actually have 5100's/ 885's and AAL in the rear. Right now I have about 2.5" of lift in the front and I'm not entirely sure what I have in the rear. I just ordered a set of MaxTrac spindles from headstrong.

    Yeah man, you are going to want Dakars or something of the like.

    Are you wondering if you should bring your existing lift down or what?

    I'm going to be switching the stock springs over onto my 5100's and setting them at 0 or 85. I was just wondering what kind of rake I'm going to have with the MaxTrac spindles in the front and the AAL in the rear.

    About how much lift did the AAL give you out back?

    If it's ~2" and you use stock coils with the 5100's ser at zero and keep the rear unchanged....you should be dead level.

    I can't speak for the Pro's but mine suck ass. They will not stay balanced Soni always have a steering wheel shake from about 50-60 & it changes when I rotate them.

    Thats what I was thinking my front end might be a scooch high but, Im just going to play it by ear if i need to raise the rear I'll prolly just end up going with a set of Dakar's. Another question about dakar's though, will 5100's in the rear pair well with eachother? ie, will 5100's max out before the springs?

    I have a 2" AAL in the rear, thanks for the info though.

    Yeah I know but Chad mentioned doing nothing in the rear Soni was just saying if you did that you'd be 2" high in the front. From the factory there is about a 2" difference front to back with the back being higher.

    This! ^^^^^^

    My truck came with 2" rake from the factory, so I make that part of my equation when decision on suspension components.

    Mike, since he has the AAL in already, I was saying "do nothing" as just leaving them alone

    Oh I missed the part where he said the aal was already in. :facepalm:
    Then in that case yes he should be about level with just the spindles & billies on 0

    885 will give you 3" so you'll be at 7" like me. Then 285' will look small. Also you have to add another 2" in the rear to stay level.

    It wouldn't look terrible but 285's will be borderline small lookin.
    This is when I was at 5.75 with 285's

    Hey guys I am as well getting ready to purchase a spindle lift kit but wanted to run by my ideas with people who clearly know more. I was thinking about buying the 4" spindles and 4" rear blocks with fox shocks (separately) or go to head strong and buy the 4" spindles with 2" rear block package and also buy 1.5" add-a-leafs because I am trying to keep it somewhat level.
