    Here's a pic of my drive shaft. Looks like I won't need the spacer but I forgot how it looks like stock.

    OK. I'll post the measurements here when I do.

    Ok quick helpful question needed. Can someone post up a list of tools and sizes needed to do the installation of the spindles, and struts and shocks. I'm sure I have everything here but want to make sure. Only vehicle that will be here is the tacoma and don't need to get stranded half way through. My kit should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. Doing spindles, 5100's front the Maxtrac shocks, aal, small block until end of Feb then change to all pro. And done.

    Hello folks,
    Can someone verify if this is OK? Maybe someone who is still stock can post a pic of their driveshaft at this same angle so I can compare. It looks to me that a 1" spacer may push it into the tranny too far but I could be wrong. I'm also gonna install the ToyTec CB drop kit today. I'll post pics & let you know how that goes.
    Thanks :D

    BTW, HUB TO FENDER MEASUREMENTS (WITH 3/4 TANK OF GAS):
    LF 22.75
    RF 22.75
    LR 25.50
    RR 25.50

    Anyone running the Maxtracs with 5100's @ .85? If so, can you post your hub to fender measurements? I would hate to have to take apart the struts again to move it up another notch. I want to run the 5100's @ "0" but have the .85 of lift. That's why I am going with this:
    13MM Lift Enhancer Kit

    $65.00
    SKU: PA T4501-2/BU30000



    For additional 3/4″-7/8″ approx lift. Installs on top of the upper strut plate, doesn’t effect ride. Kit includes two machined aluminum spacers and an extended stud kit.




    This should be about the same as running the 5100's @ .85.

    Have you checked your shock travel? Correct me if I'm wrong, but these move the shock down in the coil bucket, which basically reduces up travel, so if you plan on offroading much, that extra inch of lift is gonna hurt.

    If You want that extra inch, once you put the Maxtracs on, just move up to 33's of 35's and you'll notice a difference.

    Case in point, I parked next to Chris(NFS) and couldn't figure out why his truck looked so much taller even though we had the exact same suspension setup (kings/foxs w/e) till I realized he was sitting on 35's and i was on 33's....huge difference.

    Ahhh. Well, of all the people to ask, Chris (NFS) would know the best, he installed mine as well as MANY MANY others, so he could probably tell you off the top of his head. Unfortunately, I think he's at superstition with the whole crowd this weekend, so maybe shoot him a PM Sunday evening?

    UCA Bolts are 19mm or 3/4
    lower shock bolt is 19mm or 3/4.
    the 4 bolts that hold the hub in are 17mm.
    the 3 bolts that hold the shock top plate in are 14mm.
    the brake lines are 10mm. Use a flare wrench or give up and use Vise grips.
    The new spindle to uca bolts are 22mm or 7/7 (i think)
    and I dont remember what the uca bolt to spindle nut is.


    If any body needs help send me a pm and I will usually give my phone number to you. I have installed 2 sets by phone now as well as 10 or so sets locally.

    Awesome. Thanks for the quick response. Can't wait for Thursday at 9am. All the components will be here and and plan on having the truck torn down wednesday evening waiting for rest of the lift kit to be in.
