Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

That's correct! Just trying to double check before you spend any of the hard earned dough.

I think you'll be fine on stock uppers since you'll technically be bringing the front suspension geometry closer to stock again (letting the spindles do most of the lifting)

 

Do you plan on adding a leaf to that pack and install a smaller block in the rear?

 

I’m not sure, trying to find out what exactly what exactly to add that would yield me an even rear

 

Maxtrac spindles
5100 set to 0”
SPC UCA
Dakar leaf pack with 3rd leaf + long overload removed
315/75/16
Can’t wait to get rid of this set up lol

 

What don't you like about it?

 

Love mine and couldn't be happier with it after 70,000 miles. Will be getting some new tires in October. They will have 80,000 miles on them by then.

 

Nothing wrong with the set up. Actually rides like a dream, especially after pulling the 3rd leaf.
The plan is to go 4wd with a SAS and 3/4 link suspension system, but to get there, I’ll have to take some unnecessary steps due to SAS being “illegal” here in Hawaii.

 

Ah, gotcha! Wonder why it's illegal?? When I visited Maui there was tons of Toyota trucks with solid fronts.

 

Depends how long ago you went. They’ve been on and off with it, and just recently, they deemed it unsafe again for the roads.
It’s Oahu that gets it the worse since we have to get a “reconstruction permit” for certain modifications on our vehicles, other wise we’re unable to pass “safety inspections”
Worse comes to worse, may have to stay IFS with Marlins RCLT kit and link the rear.

 

Damn, that's wild! It was back in March of 2017

 

Anyone have a set of Spindles for sale in Southern California? PM me if you have a set after doing an upgrade. I found a set from a member but prefer a local deal instead.

 

Sorry for the late ass response! I torqued mine while it was on the ground. That way the full weight of the truck is present. I figured since the truck is supposed to be on the ground when torquing the bolts for UCAs, I would just follow that rule.

 

Haha no worries man. Other members reached out and helped me with the question.

 

Okay I think I know what I need to order now after doing a lot more research. Just need to decide on what to do for front coil. I am going for 6" so I will be running
Front: Bilstein 5100 with (883/884 OME or just adjust shock instead and keep stock coil) and Maxtrac
Rear: Bilstein B110 with HS 3 Leaf AAL and 2" block

Also I currently have 2nd gen trd sport wheels and 265/65/17 and dont plan on changing out wheels and tires (for 4R trd Sema pro and 285/70/17) until I run out of tread on current setup. Am I okay to run both setups without spacers? If not, what kind of spacers do I need?

 

The stock rims won’t work with the spindles. You’ll need probably 1.25 wheel spacers. I have the minimum backspacing on aftermarket rims and the tires are about 1” from the spindles. Maybe someone else will pipe in if I’m wrong. Your truck should look good with the 6” lift. I ran the 4” with the 265s for a couple of months. You’ll be surprised how small the tires look with the lift. I totally understand waiting until the tread is gone.

 

How do you like the leaf spring?

 

I have the 4in maxtrax spindle. 1.25 wheel spacers beucase I had a stockrims. 285/75/17
I recently got the trd pro wheels. But there rubbing on fender. Had anyone had this issue or any suggestions?

 

I took a zip knife to the lower inner portion of the plastic fender fare

 

Did you cut this off? That’s where it’s rubbing.
