    You guys are doing suspension 3 inches right? I have a 4 inch spacer.
    I have figured out a way and need to visit a local fabricator to see if he can bend me another custom plate. It's doable.

    4 inch spacer :eek: my god. How does that thing ride? Wouldn't have been my top option but with that being said. If I had not joined this forum I would have a spacer lift with blocks and thought it was the cats meow of lifts hahaha what do u have in the back to avoid the bro lean?

    Had a shop do it without me knowing what was involved. One cross bar was cut and replaced with one from the kit. Had I known that I would never have done it. It's been good and never had any issues so far.
    At least my axles are almost straight. :rofl:

    Back is lifted with OME springs and sits perfectly level. The ride is good I think but I don't have a comparison.

    MaxTac spindles are for PreRunners only. Imagine taking the stock spindle and moving the hub down 4" relative to the ball joints - the hub would be where the lower ball joint is, leaving no room for a CV shaft to pass thru:

    Yes. Typical suspension lift is 2.5"-3" achieved with replacement shocks or threaded coilovers. Typical drop-bracket lift is 6" achieved with spacers or longer shocks offered by 2-3 mfrs. 4" drop-bracket lift happens to be in-between. I don't think there are shocks available to let you get rid of the spacers...

    Oh cool yeah makes sense I wasn't sure haha but now I know :thumbsup: and I believe u are correct on stating with the 4" DB lift he has I don't think he could find a coil over to replace the spacers. If there was some I'm sure more folks would be lifting 4" instead of 3" but I'm not 100% sure haha

    Glad you're enjoying man and that it softened up a bit haha I agree about having it sit level, once u load it up for work or camping I would be cruising around with a nice bro lean haha

    I spoke to Filthy Motorsports that deal with KING shocks. I gave him all my measurements and asked if I could keep that height by removing spacer. He said he can custom make a shock, through KING to take up the extra space. Quoted me a price of $1700 for front coilovers.

    That's what I thought too. Compared to others it's not that bad.

    The number of bolts, nuts, and parts in that kit is crazy. I am in awe at the number of parts. My lift was like 3 pieces compared to that.

    Thanks for actually mentioning how much the high end stuff costs for a total setup. I ended up at $3400 with installation.
