Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Did you have to regear with those huge tires?

 

YotaMatt has bigger tires than me I think. Drives fine with stock 3.73 gears to me.

 

Holy snaps! That truck looks awesome!

 

You guys who put on driveshaft spacers after your lift, is your driveshaft flush with the yoke at transmission? Mine is out about 3/4". I bought a 3/4" spacer but I'm worried that if flush (like stock) it might bottom out inside the yoke when i hit a big bump since it has more travel now. My lift consists of 4" Maxtracs with 5100's @ 1.75 and 2" block with 1.5"aal in rear. I barely have any vib at take off so i will probably just leave it alone but i just wanted to see if anyone used a spacer and made it flush after the lift and if you had any problems. Thanks!

Mine looks like this:

Great! That's what size I'm looking at. I like the wheels tucked under just a bit. Have you had a chance to flex at all?

btw it's Miss. Easy mistake on a site like this. L opal!

 

Great Question. I also would like to know. Mine is out 1" so I ordered a 1" transmission spacer. Is this correct?

 

Should be flush

 

Darn auto-correct! Don't know what " L opal!" Is. Should've been LOL!!!

 

How about the carrier bearing. I have the drop kit from toytec but does it need to be lower (add washers) with a 6" lift or should that and the trans spacer setting drive shaft flush be good to cure shutter?

 

Spanish for "the dude".. lol L opal!!

 

Honestly it depends on how yours is. Mine need 3 mm shims and I have slight take off vibes. Matt has 1.5" drop. Other people run 1/4" 3/8"1/2" it's a crap shoot really.

 

LMAO!!!!

 

Auto correct is a pita. So no hint of rubbing at all? Looks like the tire fills the wheel well nicely.

 

At what point are extended brake lines required for the rear? right now im lifted 3in in the rear. If i go to 3.5 or 4, do i need new brake lines?

 

Yes. You should do it anyways at 3in because at full droop you're going to be extended too far and run the risk of tearing one.

 

This will depend on the way you lifted the rear. This question can't be answered just based on height.

 

This is not accurate and I can explain why if needed.

 

Right now i have 3 inch block with extended 5100s with stock 3 leaf pack

 

How is it not accurate? If he droops his rear end the brake lines extend. Just like the front. That's why they are not hard lines so they can flex and move. His brake lines are attached to the frame and the rear end. The rear end will drop and the frame will stay stationary. So help me understand how that is not accurate if he already has a 3in block in the rear and is contemplating a 3.5 or 4 in block. That means the brake lines are going to be stretched as is without extended. To continue to lift with out them would be ridiculously stupid. It is added insurance.

 

To those of you that have installed the drive shaft spacer. Is it pretty strait forward install. Unbolt bolt in.? Mine just came in the mail and im bout to just bolt it in.. Any tips?
