    Bone f’n stock for now
    Just to let you know all know I recently redid my rear leaf springs since I was sagging. After adding a f250 spring I was rear high and destroyed my cb and ds. I ditched my 4" tapered block and replaced it with a 1 in block and perfectly level now. Also all my vibes minus small take off vibe Is gone. Adding a one inch Ds spacer. And I'm willing to bet my vibes Are gone. My pinion angle is also almost all the way back to how it should be. So you may want check your pinion angle. And if anyone wants my tapered 4" block pm me.

    Yup :facepalm: figured it out after they came in the mail, and didn't have patience to send back and reorder... I will say though now with tapered 2" block, beefed taco 2.25" cb drop bracket and 1.5 ds spacer all vibes are gone except take off and those are very minimal as well! :yay:

    So ive been looking into getting a set of maxtracs. Right now i have a crappy Revtek coil spacer up front, 3 inch block in the back, and 5100's all around (front set at 0). The back sits exactly 1 inch higher than the front. I would like to keep the rear how it is and upgrade the front end for a better ride and sit level with the back (1 inch higher).

    Would removing the spacer, adding the spindles, and setting the 5100 to .85 raise the front enough to sit level with the 3 inch block?

    Would the ride be significantly better? or should i save hundreds and just drop the back with a 2 inch block?

    Quick question what top plate spacers are you referring to? Sounds like you mixed 3 different lift components

    I don't post in here as often as I perhaps should, but I'm often asked what my lift height is after 4" & Icon 2.5 C/O's. I usually respond with this picture:

    Well,
    I finally got my Maxtrac spindles (front) & 1.25" Spidertrax spacers, installed on the rear wheels. I already had the Wheelers 3 Leaf AAL & 1" block. Ready to hit some trails! For the observant ones, I still need to align it, secure the ABS lines, & re-install the front skid plate but I'll do that this week.

    Special thanks to CJ (my mechanic) & everyone who responded to my PM's regarding the Spindles & the Spidertrax wheel adapters!
