Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

The extended length of the shocks are a factor and will either allow for additional droop of the leaf packs or not. Also if he were running a 2" AAL and a 1" block he could get to 3" of lift and may not need longer lines.

I did not read that he had a 3" blocks and extended Billies in which case he should already have been the longer lines due to the extended length of the shocks.

No sense in getting uptight here.
If we are offering advice we should just make sure we have a clear understanding of what we are talking about. To say someone needs longer brake lines because they have a 3" rear lift is not correct, it depends on the lift/shocks and thus this explains my response.

This makes sense now doesn't it

 

Got Saltey in here..lol Now help with my above Question. Im guessing I just unbolt the carrier bearing and then disconnect the drive shaft from the rear end... Then slide drive shaft back up in the trans tail and install spacer. right?

 

Just loosen the carrier bearing. It moves. Then install and bolt back up.

 

Thank you.. Easy enough.. best to ask just in case.

 

If you decide get a different carrier bearing drop bracket you can look here

http://stores.streetacos.com/carrier-bearing-brackets/

They offer 2 1 for under 4" and 1 for over 4"

I personally have this and no issues at all

 

Not uptight by any means. It may have came across that way but in no way meant it that way. When op stated he had a three inch lift I went straight for blocks which in this case he needs the extended lines. As you stated. If he had said I have a custom Alcan pack then I would have said you're fine. But when people have a quality rear lift they throw it out there. Like I have a 1 in block and a bastard pack that consists of three toyota leafs and 2 f250 leafs. So. If i was running a block lift you generally see people post I have a 1 in lift in the rear. It comes with the tw territory that most of the guys here will give you flack about running blocks.

But no definitely didn't mean to sounds pissed or uptight. Just making sure he does go try and jump his truck off a mall curb and rip the break lines. (That last part was supposed to be funny)

Let us know how the install of that spacer went. I'm probably going to do mine this weekend.

 

Alright I've got the 1.5" cb drop bracket from beefed taco and the 4crawleroffroad 1.5" driveshaft spacer. ..I have no vibes at all and this is how all my stuff looks

 

Same here, 95% of vibes are gone Pretty sure the other 5% is the tires...

 

Jack stands help to hold the ds up once disconnected , but make sure you chock the tires, if because it will roll on you, if you have a prerunner at least. Sounds obvious but I didn't the first time

 

OK guys im trying not to get pissed and post a huge buyer beware rant about 4Crawler Offroad and there damn drive shaft spacer. I ordered
Description:1.00 in. Drive Shaft Spacer/3X, Item#: DSspcr3X_1.00

What I got will not line up. I tried EVERY hole. 2 of the 4 line up but the other 2 are half moon off.

 

TAC1 ran into the same issue with his not aligning up. You can go back to post 3296 or so and he talks about it.

 

Some on confirm. On there website it show two option with the tacoma.
One is 65mm and another is 66mm. I ordered the 65mm.

 

I see.. Exactly what I got going on.

 

I don't remember which one I got..I swear it said for 2wd 2nd gen tacomas...mine fits perfect

 

I got the 65mm and no issues with mine

 

I may be shit out of luck then. The one that didnt work that I got today is the 65mm. Well there closed so I just ordered the 66mm on. Worst case I have to return two. Best case I return one.

 

What you could do is have them send you a blank one. When you get it you can take it to a machine shop or if you have a drill press and drill the pattern you need.

 

I measured mine and originally ordered the 65mm spacer since it was the most popular for my year. Then about an hour after i ordered I read on his page about the 66mm ones sometimes having an "11" stamped on the bolt head. I looked and mine had "11" on there. So i measured again and it was so close but I changed my order to the 66mm spacer. It's only a 1mm difference so I hope I measured right. I will probably try my install in the morning. Fingers crossed!
