Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Lucky you, man!

 

Guys, I am going to do my alignment in an hour. Anything that I should tell to the technician?

 

What size tires are you running?

 

still 265/75 r16

 

Until you move to a wider or taller tire, OEM specs are fine*. Again, you didn't change anything with your new spindles other than the ride height and you're not going to a wider tire.

Once you're ready to pull the trigger on wider tires or an aftermarket suspension, then alignments become considerably more involved.

*Remember our conversation back on the 2nd about alignment specs. It's all up to you on how far down this rabbit hole you want to go.

 

Shit, you are right! I'm planning to get 285s in a few months! So I have to do another alignment after bigger tires?

 

That's going to depend on whether or not they rub at lock or under compression. They may not, but its something to think about.

 

@sblspawn

What are your goals/future plans for your truck insofar as lifting your truck/upgrading the suspension is concerned?
What wheels are you using?

 

Waiting!

 

Guys, now my steering wheel is shacking a lot at 50mph. The whole front end is shaking! What could that be?

 

A little late on the subject of brake bleeding. But don't take your truck to some shoddy offload shop that does it the cheapest. I put the spindles on myself and trailered it to the shop to have the brake lines installed. I drove from College Station Tx to Baton Rouge La after the install. On the way back one of my brake lines came loose in Beaumont (4 hours from home), I limped it to a shop and they said I got air in my ABS modulator. They bled them anyway and sent me on my way. I stroll into Houston at around 5 pm and had to drive through Houston traffic with only my manual transmission and E brake. At that point I realized that taking it to the dealership and having it done right was worth it

 

Unbalanced wheels or something not tight

 

I was trying to re-check everything but damn rain is a pain in the ass.

 

Please take and post a picture of your drive shaft at your slip yoke (transmission).

Damn! Good thing you're okay. That's insane.

Wise advice.

 

Still shaking randomly between 50 and 60mph. This is the alignment print sheet.

 

Those are good alignment numbers.

The shaking you're feeling is endemic to everyone who lifts their Tacomas. Now enter the troubleshooting phase. Were you able to take a picture of the driveshaft at the slip yoke?

 

I am fucking frustrated!

 

Man, don't be! These trucks have been known to shake since they first came out.

 

Man, she was soft and quiet before! Do you have this problem too? My steering is shaking like a fish out of the water around 60, but not all the time, it do it randomly.
