    But here's mine now with the same lift and 35's. The 285's were too small to me.

    Alfuh- I've got a 2" tapered on mine. I also have a 1.5" aal though. Sits about 3/4''-1" higher in rear. Same as Spruce up front with 5100 @1.75 (for now).

    Alright, so I have been reading all over this thread and just want to verify. Can you definitely run these spindles with completely stock suspension and uca's? I have a 2.7L prerunner base model with 16x8 0/4.5" method nv wheels. So I don't have bilsteins, they are just the black dealership suspension that comes on a base. Are there any issues I may run into? You still need an alignment after? Whats the best rear lift to go with to level it out with these spindles on stock suspension? Thanks for any advise.

    I think it will work fine as long as not 4x4. The MT site says Minimum 17" wheel 4.75" bs max, but im pretty sure some guys have 16" wheels with them on (i think 16" rims =4.5" max).You will need an alignment. There are many options for rear: aal, block, leafpack, etc. With just the maxtracs up front you will probably only need around 2" of lift in rear to keep level. You could go 2" aal or 2" block.

    Thanks a lot for that input Rick. I really want to go with this setup before swapping out all my suspension down the road. Anybody have any experience running the spindles on stock suspension? Hows the ride? Also, wheres the best place to purchase? Headstrong off-road has them for a pretty good price.

    the spindles will fit with 16" rims with 4.5 bs, my Mickey Thompsons are 16x8 and have 4.5 bs and they fit nicely. as for stock suspension...I think you can, I dont see why not because all you are doing is lowering the spot where the hub is located to get lift. Headstrong OR is the only place ive seen with the spindles for $495

    Headstrong is your best bet, best price & free shipping.
    Im still running stock uca's but with 5100's, it rides good & no problem with aligning it. From what I've read you should have no problems with stock suspension & it should ride just as good as it does now.

    Hell yeah, thats what I'm talking about. Really pumped about this. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. Planning on getting these from headstrong hopefully sooner than later, and then down the road upgrading my suspension. Thanks for the input guys.

    We were throwing around the idea of a Tampa/Orlando meet on July 12th at the Lakeland Hooters (K9's idea).
    That's kinda halfway for both areas & it's taken on the name Tamlando meet.
