    So im totally confused. Looking to do the maxtrac spindles in the front, 3' allpro leafs in the back, and would I require new shocks?
    eventually going to be running 33's on a 17inch wheel.

    Sorry, im new here.

    You're good in the front, but you'll need aftermarket extended length shocks to accommodate the added lift in the rear.

    Along with shocks you will also need longer ubolts and extended brake lines for the rear......allpro can sell u everything you need

    It seems as if I am 153 pages too late but I love my mantras spindles. I'm running them with 5100's in the front and icon vs 2.0 resi with deavers in the rear. Just waiting and saving to go camburg, icon, deaver long travel. But as for now they seem to hold up well. TacoShresdan jumped his truck the other day and all is well.... I would've been there had I not got separated from the group...

    I think your confused a little. The rear 5100's are non adjustable, only the fronts are.

    Check out this link, it has the 5100 rears compatible for different lift heights.
    http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-5...lstein-5100-series-shocks-2005-2013-pair.html

    Rear lift is obtained via blocks (not the greatest way), or leaf springs/aal.

    Gonna install my spindles along with eibach 1.6 springs and billy 5100s upfront. My offset is 4.00 but im running two inch spacers upfront (like the handling with 2 inch spacers ) so my question is am I going to be able to keep my spacers or have to take them off ? Thanks

    The maxtrac's automaticly ad 1.25 per side, thats just how there built to clear the lower control arm.I have 4.5 backspaced wheels with maxtrac's, i instaled 1.25 spacers in the back to have front / back equal track width due to the maxtrac's making your track width 1.25 wider on each side, so if you wanted to run the spacers in the front after the spindles are in you will be fine its just gonna be hella wide :cool:

    No such thing as a rear shock providing lift.

    Most important thing to remember when selecting shocks is consideration of extended and collapse length. By simply just going by what a comp says will work you can find yourself in a world a hurt. Lifts from blocks can use a longer collapse length shock over a lift from a leaf packs.

    You can use spacers but that track width is going to be out there.

    The Maxtrac spindles provide 3/4" push out per side and not 1.25". Total track width increase with spindles will be 1.5" (0.75 x 2). A lot of misinformation floating around on here.

    hmm that's strange, as far as the track width gain because i measured from inside of the front and back wheels and the difference was 2.5 so i went with 1.25 spacers in back and now there equal.

    You have any down travel left up front? Those UCAs look like they are point to the pavement.
