    I've been looking into putting maxtrac spindles on my truck for a while now, right now I have just a 2inch leveling kit and I'm running 275/65r18s. Yes I rub a lot considering they're mud terrains and I wanted to lift more to get rid of rubbing and for more clearance. I'm wondering if anyone has 4-6inch of lift with the same or similar size tire. It's about a 32.3" tire by 11"

    Maybe even add the word "TacomaWorld"

    Finally got around to getting some new tires. Went from 285/70 nittos to a 285/75/17 toyo at 2. Fits perfect and didn't have to cut or trim anything with spindles and 5100/884 combo.

    So is this may be a dumb question: but if i have the bilstein 5100's in front and 5160's in rear, set to 3inch in front (2.5" maxed out). if i add these spindles, will it add lift? or just adjust the geometry of the lift?
    thanks!

    Nah, I just left the sway bar alone.

    Extended front brake lines come with the Spindles through @HeadStrong Off-Road

    Appreciate it! I've only done strut replacement lifts before so this was some new territory. seem's straight forward enough though!

    Should be able to handle it!

    How much lift are you wanting?

    You could always go with Maxtracs and drop the bilstiens down to zero for a better ride quality

    I have essentially a 3 inch, was looking for a 4.5-5 inch for better tire clearance and a bit more of a level.. I have 2.5" spacers i could put on top of the 5100's maxed out and get that effect, but i don't think the geometry would work well, so I'm leaning towards spindles....

    You could go Maxtracs and 884s with the bilsteins on "0" and be around the 6" range up front

    Thats what I'm going to do next

    Right now I have the Maxtrac spindles and 2016 TRD OR shocks and coils and those gave me an extra inch
