Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Been debating on the maxtrac spindles for a little while now and got a couple questions.My current setup is 5100s @ 1.75 on stock Sr5 coils up front and non-tsb springs with 1.5 AAL /5100s.With Maxtrac 4" spindles should I swap out stock coils for 885s and drop billies back to 0?With the rear should I go with 2" block and extended bilsteins? I want the rake to stay like it is now and keep my tss wheels.Also planning on running 285/70 km2 or k02.

Currently..

 

If you do 885s up front with spindles you and a 2in black in the rear then you're going to be nose high bud. You'll potentially have 6-7 in lift in the front and 2-3 in lift in the rear. If I'm reading correctly.

 

Maxtracs automatically give you 4 in of lift in the front. Then add your ome 885 at 2.5-3 in depending on what you're running up there ( plate bumper, winch, both). If you're not running any of that. Then you'll be closer if not at the 3in mark. So that is 7 in of lift front.

Your rear you're already at 1 in taller from the factory. Now add your 1.5 aal then a 2 in tapered block. You're at 4.5 in rear. So.... You'll need another 2.5 in the rear to have the rake you're going for.

So imho no don't do what you're thinking.

 

Look at post 4605 that's about what you'll look like

 

So should I keep stock coils and drop billies back to 0 and do 2" block rear with my 1.5AAl?

 

Look at sprucetaco's truck. He is running the spindles w 5100's @ 1.75 and in rear allpro expos and 1.5 block.

If you are thinking about running the ome springs get the 883 or 884's and set 5100's @ 0

 

Correct, Maxtrac's with 5100's set @ 1.75 & stock sport springs. The rear is all pro expos (4") & 1.5" blocks.

 

Yes but those expos give you about 3-4 in. I think he's trying to go with what he has. He still hasn't identified what size lift he is trying to accomplish. If it's just 4" on the cheap. Then maxtrac, 5100's set at 0 and stock springs. Then take out the 1.5 aal and drop a 2in block. If he wants to keep the rake he could leave in the aal and have 1.5 plus the 2in block would achieve a 3.5 rear + 1 in factory = .5" rake.

If he wants to do 6+" lift then he is on the right track minus the block. He would need a 1.5-2in block + expos for the best ride. Or do like I did and drop some ingenuity into and slap on 2 f250 leafs cut to length and boom no block and 5" over stock in the rear

 

Yeah I was just posting my set up & #'s for reference.

 

Oh I understand that. Just making sure he knows a 2" block and 1.5 aal isn't gonna give him a rake for a 6+" lift up front

 

Thats true, with my expos & blocks I'm just about level. Maybe .5" high in the rear but hub to fender measures the same front & rear.

 

With the AllPro standard leafs will I need CB drop and DS spacer?

 

CB drop really depends, I have 3* axle shims and new ujoints and my vibs are pretty much gone. the DS spacer, I would get one to put the DS back to being flush where its supposed to be, the one I bought from low range doesnt fit the flange on my truck...so I havent installed one yet

 

That pic was with 245

 

I was referring to my choice of tire size when I saw your first pic with the 285s then referencing your stocker tires. the 285s look so much bigger than the 265s do

my 265s look very tiny compared to the 285s



speaking of 245s lol old picture

 

It will look like mine. ..I have maxtracs, 5100s at 0, 885 springs on 35s

 

His front will yes. But his rear is still going to be low

 

For sure....mine is the tsb 4 leaf pack, 1.5 aal and 3" block and my rear Is low

 

That's how I want mine.

 

quick question for you guys.....so i recently installed king coilovers (extended version) with .75 inch of preload on the driver side and .5 inch on the passenger. My coilover setting is 170psi with the standard 600# spring. With this coilover, i have a set of maxtrac spindles for my front suspension. For some reason the front end of my truck is sitting about 6-7 inches. Its much taller than a bunch of other tacos with the same setup with even an inch of preload on their coilovers. i figured i would offroad and maybe try to break the coilovers in but its still the same height after all the prerunning. I've heard reasons as to every truck is different, and a lot of no clue why your trucks higher. My thought is maybe this is just how its suppose to be with spindles and coilovers....Any ideas?

I compared lower control arm angles to other trucks as well and mine seem kinda pushed down.
