    About to hop on the group buy for July,

    I got 17x9 PC 5001 wheels offset 6.6 BS: 4.75 can I still use them without spacers or will I need spacers?

    For the rear Can I just do 1'' AAL and will it sit level?

    Also what brand AAL should I go with & is there anything I'm missing?

    Front:
    Maxtrac Spindles & the rest Stock

    Rear:
    1'' AAL

    Is there anything Else? I know bigger tires :p

    Is anyone running 35 x 12.5 tires with maxtrac spindles, eibach coils and 5100's at 0? If so I was interested if there were rubbing problems and how bad it cut your mpgs if even noticeable. Thanks guys!

    I think you misunderstand. It's a stock 4 LEAF back...so you're MAYBE an inch over the 3 leaf packs. The spindles will yield around 3 1/2-4" or lift up front. So you need at least 3" of lift OVER the stock packs in the back. A 1" block or AAL will not have you level

    Yeah my second picture is a little deceiving too. It sits with a bit of bro lean. Not as much as I thought it would though.


    Anyways, I have a question for those running aftermarket coilovers. Do i need new uppers even if I run King standard travel OEM replacement coilovers with no preload? I want new coils but don't want to crank them up. I might try with a little preload but probably 1"-1.5" additional lift at most. I know stock uppers should be fine with those angles but I guess my question is will I be limiting the coilovers' performance by using the stocks?

    The truck is a mall crawler 99% of the time but i do like to get it off the pavement once in a while.

    If you are only wanting an extra 1.5 lift just replace the stock coils with ome 883's and set your 5100's at 0. Be a lil cheaper than running the kings and also no preload.

    Honestly, switching from 5100's to a true coilover was the best choice I made. The onroad and offroad ride is 100 times better. With these spindles and zero preload I've got plenty of lift.
