Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Has anyone install these with JBA UCA? I'm having a hard time torquing down the 22mm BJ nut for the JBA's!

 

Not personally but I'm quite sure I've seen pictures of it so it should be doable.

 

I'm really dragging my feet on this install, however, I did break both anti-skid sensors and they just came in today. I found a 3/8 drive 7/8 socket that fit over the JBA BJ nut so I can now torque that bad boy. I'll knock this out this weekend!!!

 

BTW, has anyone machined these deeper, about 1/4 for aftermarket bearing/hub assemblies???

 

Also, is an alignment required after installing these? They don't change the geometry of your suspension?

 

You'll definitely want to get it aligned. Can't wait to see!

 

Thanks buddy, wasn't 100% sure about that. I just got an alignment a few weeks ago lol

 

Finally finished my install. Was very easy, only issue's I ran into were new bearing/hub assemblies didn't fit into the Maxtrac's, they were 1/4" deeper than stock, I also broke both anti-skid sensors lol.

 

Looks sweet!

 

Awesome!!!

 

Could some one do me a great favor and measure the maxtrac 4" lift spindle see picture attached for reference. It would help a lot.

 

They should be about the same. The only thing you need to do is flip the tie rods upside down on the Maxtrac.

 

Lol I know I’m a little late but I’m thinking about doing this and was wondering what all I
need for just the front I
understand the back. Is there any specific front end maintenance I should do while installing?

 

I considered tie rod ends, but mine were fine. Had I not done lower ball joints recently, it would of been a good time for them. New brake lines, new brake fluid, brakes if needed, also great time for wheel bearings if needed.

 

Just check everything to make it’s all in good shape. My passenger side inner tie rod was worn so I replaced both. Your new spindles should come with extended brake lines. Remember to flip the tie rods over to install on the longer spindles. And definitely make sure you torque everything to spec.

 

Anybody here have maxtrac 4" spindles with a level kit? If so can you post? I have 4" spindles and bilstein 5100's getting installed next week kind of want to leave my level kit on for extra 3 inches. Good idea, bad idea?

 

Is it a coil spacer or what?

 

Yes 3" strut spacer

 

Ew, you're upgrading bro. Take that out of there.

Can either use your stock coils without that spacer and the spindles or use the 5100s on your coils. They can be set to lift some themselves but I wouldn't recommend it, personally.

Just start with the spindles and 5100s set to 'zero' on your stock coils first.

Are you running aftermarket upper control arms already or nah?

 

No sir, stock upper control arms. And I'm trying to get at least 6 inches of lift so the 4 inch spindles with the bilsteins set at 2". Trying to find out if I can run my 3" level lit with the spindles or if it'll f**k everything up lol
