    What is the best way to remove the struts now with Maxtrac spindles? I was thinking on disconnecting the UCA, the Sway bar link and loosening the camber bolts a little. What do you guys think?

    Question. If you have a 2.5”-3” OME lift and don’t want to go any higher in the front, what reinforced spindles would you go with?

    Buy the total chaos reinforcement plates and have them welded on.

    Or just sell the OME shocks and coils and put on Maxtrac spindles

    Headstrong Off-road 2" coils with 5100s on the bottom clip. SPC light racing uppers. She is riding so much better than the 3rd gen offroad shocks and coils i had.

    Actually feels like there is some travel on the front end now!

    PreRunners have been getting nearly 3" out of these coils but mine settled in (bumper weight) right about 2"

    Shit, I've never once calculated my miles per gallon. (Not even when she was stock)

    I really don't drive it much so I'm not too concerned

    We slapped some half inch blocks in the rear and I think I'm calling it a day on the lift aspects.

    In the end it's a PreRunner and I like it to look the part, somewhat.

    So you end up with 6" on the front and 4" in the rear?
