    Maxtrac makes a 4" kit that comes with spindles and 2" blocks and they also make a 6.5" kit that comes with spindles and spacers for the front and a 4" block in the rear that's the kit I have.

    Got my spindles installed yesterday. Really happy with the outcome. I bought Wheelers 3-leaf aals for the rear but didn't end up installing them because I'm liking the stance with the stock leafs in the rear. I'm gonna hang on to them for a little while in case I change my mind. Wheels are 17x8.5 Method standards and tires are 285/70r17 Falken Rocky Mountains.

    Can you run 35's on strictly the spindle lift with a 2" AAL added in the rear? Will I get a leveled look with this set-up? I already ordered the 2" single AAL from Wheelers so I'm crossing my fingers that it's level or at least close to it without any rake..I can always return them though.

    I doubt it....I had spindles with a 2" block initially and I rubbed like crazy with 33s! After a ton of trimming I still rubbed at full lock on the cab mount. I think 35s would be almost impossible to run with just spindles and 2" aal. But hey give her a shot.....worst comes to worst just lift it more like I did....I don't rub at all with my 33s now not even on the cab mount

    What is your set-up?

    Also do you know if I'll be level with the 2" AAL?

    My sig pic is 4" spindles up front with a 2" block in the back and no it was not level.....about one to one and a half inch(Es) higher in the front. I since added the rest of the maxtrac lift to make 6.5" in the front and 4" in the rear (spindles plus a 2.5" upper CS spacer and replaced my 2" blocks with 4" blocks

    I've got the TSB Leafs already on, think I'll be a little more level than you were? Or did you already have the TSB done?

    Nope I didn't have tsb so you should be closer to level than I was.

    Just need some quick feedback...currently have 4" Maxtrac spindles and 2" rear blocks. Tomorrow, I will be installing Bilstein 5100 Adjustable Front (still debating on setting at 0 or .85) and 1.6" Eibach coils. The problem is, I have 285/70/17 tires that rubs on the wheel well specially on reverse. To match the front, I purchased the new Toytec Progressive AAL. Toytec claims it will lift the rear 1.5 to 2" (Hopefully). Will also add 3-4" extended Bilsteins/Steel braided brake lines. My questions is should I just go with 0 or .85 on the front? 0=1.6" .85=2.4" Any input will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I've got my billies set to .85. With my Dakar leafs that are about 2.75 inch lift in the back I sit level. Pics are in my build thread. Hope this helps some.
