Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

4x4?

 

No. Ill stay with a 4x2 pre runner

 

Why change to a 2013 then

You want to throw more money away for the new front ???

I don't know man, I don't get it myself. Personally my goal is just to pay the truck off, which I'm very close to doing. Last thing I'd do is go backwards and start over on a new loan. Thats just me though

I pay this shit off and I have ZERO car payments and two 2011 vehicles in great shape that I plan to run into the ground before replacing. Kinda like I did with may last toyota.

 

I didn't get mine new. I've had it a bout a year. Its still up in the air for me. I like the 2012+ looks a little more. It was just a thought. I had the same mind set. I don't wanna start my payments over either. But I'm not real far into my payments either. I think i'll just paint my interior armrest and console black and call it a day. Keep my 10'

 

And I kind of like the idea of being the first owner and having the truck from 0 miles until i run it into the ground. But like i said, Still unsure.

 

That's cool man I get it and yes it is very nice starting with a new car/truck. I always hate the half fast mods you get stuck with when buying used. Also that new car smell is oh so nice.

 

Yeah. It would be my first new vehicle.

 

Thanks man i got it straightened out flipped em around n it rides like a dream!
Recommend these for anyone!

 

Finally got a pic of my spindles installed. If debating on this, pull the damn trigger!! U will not disappointed and go with headstrong off-road. Will be your cheapest and best bet! Gave me an awesome deal with rear extended bilseins!
Also finally made up my mind on duratracs. LOVE EM

Hey guys. Planning to lift my 13 and so far I've only been researching 3 inch suspension lifts. But after seeing your guys these 4 inch spindle lifts, im starting to reconsider. Never thought an inch could make a difference. Haha.
Just a couple questions though.
For the front lift, will I only be needing spindles, brake lines and uca's? Can I use the stock coilovers or is it better to get aftermarkets like billies and ome coils? And will that add more height to the lift? (Just wanna keep it at 4 in the front)
Finally, what do you guys recommend for the rear lift? New leaf packs? or blocks? Or both? (enough to level or keep the stock rake) I have heard that blocks are frowned upon though.
Thanks again fellahs.

 

Front option, u can go completely stock with just spindles n brake lines. I THINK some ucas are not compatible with maxtrac spindles, but I could be wrong. U can get some billies set em at "0" which some will suggest, but u do not have to.

Rear options are endless. Whole new leaf pack is best but most expensive. Then aal, then aal and blocks. I personally went with blocks and extended bilsteins. MOST will frown on it. I don't off-road or haul so the ride is fine for me.

Check out here
http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/complete-lift-kits-tacoma-05-6-lug.html

These are the full kits. All pro leaf packs seem to be best option for whole new leaf.
I emailed headstrong off-road n they added extended bilsteins and 3" blocks instead of 2 and all together was 735$ shipping included.

Just keep digging and more will chime in. You will find what u want, all depends on needs and budget.

Btw everything I just said was for 05-11 sorry! Should be true for 13 as long as it's 2wd n prerunner

 

Anybody have problems with the longer brake lines rubbing the sway bar mount?

I also have bistein 5100's at 2.5 inches

 

yeah just take off the sway bar

 

How is driving it with off.

 

Thanks man! Yeah I got a prerunner. I guess I got alot more research to do on spindles. Here we go again.

 

i have the 6 inch maxtrac lift, with billies in the front extd front and rear brake lines, blocks and maxtrac shocks in the back since it came with the kit i used them... rides like stock, i sit with a lean due to the billies set one above 0. an aal can fix it but holding off till the rear shocks die.. hope this helps..

 

Just dropping this here for anyone questioning whether Total Chaos LCA's work with Maxtrac spindles. In the picture the shims between the LCA spindle adapter and the double shears are below the spindle adapter plate but I had to change that to putting the shims on top of the spindle adapter plate. Otherwise the lower double shear would hit the LCA when you went to full lock with your steering wheel.
