    Only thing up front is the spindles. Like I said, I expect it will come down some when aligned and after the suspension moves around a little....

    The only thing I can think of is the suspension needs to settle and it will change a little when I get an alignment. Anything you think of that I could have done wrong on the install that might have pre-loaded the suspension or something?

    No just looks real close to mine in that picture and my front struts and springs only have 5800 miles on them plus 2.5" spacer...and I have 4 pack leafs in rear plus 4" block...maybe my mud terrains are bigger in that size and they fill more of my gap???

    Well, I originally installed 5100s/w Eibach springs and their spacer from Toytec at around 1500 miles on the truck. Truck only has 3300 on it right now and I put the factory shocks/springs on when I put the spindles on. So, my factory springs/shocks only have around 1500 miles on them. I really have no idea. You have me thinking that I have preloaded the suspension when I installed the spindles. How much did you torque the two bolts that came with the spindles that connect the lower control arm?

    Ok, someone help me figure out why my truck is sitting so high. All I am running up front is the Maxtrac spindles with my factory springs/shocks. Can anyone think of anything I may have done on the install of the spindles that might have preloaded the suspension? Keep in mind that all I did is pull the truck out of the garage after putting the spindles on. The suspension has yet to have been worked any and I know my front end is out of alignment.

    FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK. That was the first kind of "lift" I put on my truck when I got it. I am either fucking blind or was in such a mad rush to get the spindles on that I didn't even really look at them when I pulled them out of a box in my garage. Damnit. Wasn't going for the 6.5" lift, lol.... No freakin wonder my shit looked so high... Oh well, back in the garage it goes tomorrow so I can take those spacers out.

    Thanks DAVTOPGUN !!!!
