Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

And in case any one is wondering I shipped my set of spindles to a new home and they weigh 43 pounds each with hubs installed. They wouldnt ship in one box due to the weight and from San Diego, CA to Moncks Corner, SC it was $166 including tax.

 

Ridiculous! But someone is now a new happy owner of a set of very well tested spindles!

 

I measured some spots on mine with a square and a new set and there was no difference. They withstood everything I thru at them.

 

I tightened it a little more and it seems better. I just feel like its at its max with tightening, Im scared to go anymore. Ill check the status tomorrow. It looks straight when the brake fluid isn't pooled up on it.

 

Hey thanks again! Waiting sucks, but it doesn't sound like I'll be able to install any time soon. Still need to lift rear and figure out if I want new wheels or stick with stock steelies and spacers...

 

just bought a white DCSB 08 tacoma. im still new to all this. got my maxtrac 4" spindle lift. bilstein 5100 set at 1.75 stock springs with Nitto Terra Grappler m/t 285/75/16. ride is lil bit harsh at some times. i want it to be a little smoother ride as this is my daily driver. Any idea what i should do?

 

put your bilsteins back to 0

 

would it make a difference in height since im already lifted?

 

You are at 5.75" of front lift. Setting them at 0 will make a 4" lift. In return they will ride much nicer, since they are not preloaded.

 

Are you using stocks coils and shocks up front? And what in the back suspension? Truck looks Badass!

 

If you run TRD wheels do you need wheel spacers?

 

sweet! thanks. I see how it works now. Hopefully this evens out with the rear height too since im on 2" block non tsb with 2" toytec AAL.

Im rubbing very little bit on front driver side only when i turn my wheel all the way. would this cause me to rub more, setting my bilstein down to 0?

 

There is a chance you will rub a little more (Strong maybe). If it rubs on one side only your alignment may be a little tweaked (your caster). But yes it will lower the front and be close to level after.

 

thanks for your help. Im going to set my bilstein down to 0 soon. Now i gotta figure out what im going to do if i rub. I have a feeling im going too.

 

Mine were at 0 and I rubbed a little but. I did the cab mount chop and cut a little of the fender and I didnt rub at all. But this is if you have 285's on.

 

yeah im running 286/75/16

 

Why not try the .85 setting? Will feel softer then the 1.75 and still give you some lift.

 

You could also set at 0 and just add ome 883 coils that way you will still get and extra 1.5 lift w/o any preload.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking of trying.

yeah i would like to stay close or even the same height i am at now. would this make the ride softer?
