Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Oh yeah, guys make their own out of all types of materials laying around.

Truck looks sweet af btw man.
​

What are you running out back?

The more you lift the rear, the more vibes.

 

Washers will work as long as you don't stack like 10 on each side but doing a few per side will be fine

 

Shock wise? Im just running the maxtrac factory ride shocks I decided to wait to up grade until I do the long travel kit and fenders.

 

Also, the driveline vibes would be due to lifting the rear, not the front. So depending on how high you lifted the rear, that could help. I only have 1.5" in the rear which is probably why I have almost no vibrations. Once I go higher, I'll probably have to do cb drop and or ds spacer.


***edit - just realized this was stated above lol

 

@ensaladas- Awesome truck!

I've just order a Maxtrac 4" spindle lifit for my 2015 TRD Sport, I was wondering if you can tell me how the ride quality is? I mostly want to know how it handles speed bumps, currently I have 6112 on the 4th notch and when going over speed bumps the rebound is more than I care for. I'm hoping that the spindles will let me go over speed bumps like stock suspension. As far as everything else I'm I really enjoying the 6112.

What size tires are you running, I have BFG KO2 265/70/17 on 17x9 rims, I know it will stick out another .75"? Are your tires rubbing?

 

Thanks buddy. As long as you bump those 6112s back down when the maxtracs go on, your ride quality will return. That's the beauty of this kit, everything stays the same, assuming your not also running lift coils or raising the setting on the bilsteins. I'm on 285/70/17 and I really don't rub at all. Partially because I was able to get almost 6+ degrees of caster to get them off the cab mount, but every truck and alignment tech is different. Do you have upgraded UCAs?

 

I have LR UCAs. I'm intending to drop down to the lowest notch on the 6112s. Really like your darkened headlights and tail lights.

 

Need feedback

I just ordered 4" Maxtrac Spindles, I currently have Bilstein 6112 and will be setting the notch to the lowest however it will provide a 1" lift and the kit comes with Fox 2.0 for rear shocks. In the rear I have 1.25" block and will be adding an AAL so if my math is correct, fronts will be 5" and the back 2" factory rake, 1.25" block and 2" from AAL- 5/14".

I'm now starting to think would going with Fox 2.0 coilovers in the front be worth the extra $$$? I don't off road if I happen to do it will be mainly on a dirt road or construction job site. If I go with the Fox 2.0 coilovers in the front then I could remove the 1.25" block and just have the AAL and factory rake 4" front and 4" rear.

Just wondering how the ride will be between the 2 scenarios?

I'm planning to sell the Bilstein 6112 and 5100 to help offset this new lift.

 

IIRC the 6112's are a 2.65" shock body and a 3/4" shaft. The fox 2.0's obviously have a 2" shock body and 5/8's shaft. Those numbers are off the top of my head so feel free look them up to double check that. I would stay with the 6112's if I were you. Yes the fox's will allow you to go lower but to me that would be a down grade.

 

@Taco Nation- appreciate the Feedback and understand your thoughts

 

How many of you guys are running no sway bar?

 

Not me. But can I see a pic of those tail lights?

Thinking about getting a set

 

No sway bar for me

 

I had the old truck up to 8" lift with no sway bar and you wouldn't know it if you rode along. It rode great. Would highly recommend

 

I don't have one on now, havnt for a good 6-8 months. I agree

 

You got it bru!

 

No sway bar here. Won't ever run 1 on a truck again after doing it a year ago!

 

No sway bar 4 mee

 

Loving those right now.

You going to remove the sway bar?
