    Make sure you got a good blow hammer (heavy/hard, not rubber mallet). Sure helps getting old spindle and things loose.

    BUT... DO NOT REMOVE BOLTS BY HITTING THE SHANK! When I was reinstalling one of the steering tie rods I noticed the last couple threads were bent from tapping them with the hammer! Good thing they had tap/die at the shop I use for that thread/size...Or else I could not leave able to steer haha..You can rent/buy a rod pulling tool for cheap to get it out easier/safely.

    Oh and give yourself enough time to do it, took me 8 hrs with a friend with few more things...

    make sure you have Flare wrench's 9 thru 11 metric size, Red Grease it comes in a can, Brake oil dot 3 or better, and maybe a brake bleeder if we get air into the braking system.

    I agree with relik give yourself plenty of time took me 6 hrs to do, and getting the tie rod off was the hardest part i had to hit the old spindle pretty hard to knock the tie rod loose

    I have been looking to get these spindles but was curious if i could run my stock rims and tires; and if so, what size spacers I would need. I know it might a little funky but my fiance is totally ok with me getting the spindles so I gotta go for it before she changes her mind :D

    Yes you need a wheel spacer for stock rims since they are 5.5" backpacing and these spindles fit max 4.75" backspacing as said before in the thread. I have 1.25" Spidertrax spacers :cool: with my 17" Sport Rims and 33" tires. I believe all pro makes some too, and others...Haven't seen 3/4" ones though, only 1/4", 1", 1.25" and 1.5"

    Subbed. I'll post pics after I get everything installed. Right now I have the maxtrack 4" spindles, 5100's set at 2.5", RCD 4.5" 5100's in the rear, extended brake lines all around, 2" aal and 2" block.

    Waiting to be installed. I have a set of Ballistic Jester off-road wheels 17x9 4.5bs -12mm offset, 35" guard dogs, and 4.88 gears.

    I'm still searching for a good locker for a reasonable price, and the right 5" leaf pack. Then my suspension will be just what I'm after.

    Would a Tacoma with just the Maxtrac spindles and factory TRD shocks/coils ride as smooth as if you still had a stock suspension?

    So you are running the setup I described Davtopgun or are you just thinking it would be the same? I would think it would be the same but wasn't really sure.

    The entire premise behind doing a spindle lift as apposed to spacers is to maintain the factory ride quality. The Maxtrac spindles won't affect the ride quality whatsoever, just your clearance height. :)
