    I was more afraid of frame flex. The bodyroll is kinda fun. Haha

    Hey guys I got a question, I got a 3'' OME lift from toytec, with 885 springs and spacers and add a leaf in the back with light racing UCA's. I got that lift when I first got the truck knew nothing about spindle lifts. Is it possible to get the Maxtrac spindle lift and still use my Shocks and everything? I have no idea about these lifts other than is a bigger spindle which gives you lift at a cheaper cost. What else would I need?

    Thanks for any help!

    you dont need anything else, but i would replace the ome 885s with some eibachs, so you wont be up 7" in front :D

    Yeah I was thinking I would have to probably take em off. But the add a leaf in the rear will be good? So just need new springs and brake lines pretty much?

    it depends on if you dont mind a 'bro" lean, i have only a 1.5" leaf in the back. it comes with spindles and break lines for the front, that is all you need

    Spindles come with extended braided steel lines. I installed mine at a friends house to cut down costs. Just had to get an alignment after. Let me know if you need help with the install if you get them.

    Me and my uncle did my lift so I probably can get him to help me again. But if I do I will deff contact you for pointers!! I just trying to figure out what all I need just out of curiosity (which will probably soon cost me some money in the near future) So new coils so I want have a 7inch lift in the front, the spindles and that's it? Sorry for all the questions, My lift would end up being just four inches correct? just adding a inch. What leaf packs are yall running to stop the lean? dakars, expo?

    Its actually good you are doing spindles along with the suspension. Spindles just give more ground clearance. Shocks give a better ride.

    Well I have 3'' all around so if I add the 4'' spindle lift it will be 7'' in the front and 3'' in the back, so the only thing I can think about is a 4'' block in the rear to level it. Because I could get the expos but it still be 3'' in the rear ether way. Is my thinking right? I not trying for 7'' lift just saying if I didn't change my 885 spring to eibach thats what would happen correct. And even with the new spring I will be off in the back a little correct?

    Expos give you 4". The spindles say they are 4" but they are like 3.5. If you get eibachs or even stock coils, you ought to be just fine!

    Cool, the eibachs are 160 on toytec so thats not too bad and the expos are 430 on allpro but only say 3'' of lift. And the spindles are going to run 500-600, not too bad. But I will only be at 4'' lift so is it worth 1200 for one more inch?

    Its all up to you. I've installed 2 sets if expos and I can def day they are 4". In all honesty, I'd just use stock coils if you have them. Like I said, the spindles help with ground clearance issues and shocks, leafs, springs, ect help with the actual ride. I have bilstein 5100s w/stock coils ,camburg 1" uniball ucas and allpro expos with 5100s and it rides WAY better than stock.
