Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

After researching a bit I know what I'm running up front which is Icon extended co, total chaos uca, and the spindles, but I'm not sure what to run in the rear as I don't off-road at all. Just love the look of a 4 inch instead of a 3 inch. Up front is 4 inch and I want the rear leveled with the front. Any particular setup I should go with? It's mostly a daily driver.

 

If your just raising the front from the maxtracs(4") and keeping the Icons @ 0 then you really only need to raise the rear about 2". Can a either use a block or aal, or new leaf packs.

 

No blocks. Would you say one of the all pro standard or expo leaf pack work? Also curious about the ride quality after the install from the leaf pack. Also I have the rear shocks from icon, would I need to swap that out as well or I can use that and just install the leaf pack for a 2" lift?

 

Expo is going to put you close to 4" rear unloaded. I think standard is 3" may be better off with an aal but not sure what that will do to your shocks.

 

Standard would probably be good for you (since only need about 2"). Ride quality should be fine. I don't have them but many people here do and love them. I'm not 100% sure about the shocks, but I think if only 2" you would be ok with those shocks. Someone who knows for sure might be able to chime in.

 

I should get my spindles & UCA's Monday going to lift it about 4.5 or 5 inches will I need to do anything to the drive shaft or need longer brake lines or anything else??

 

You'll definitely need longer lines up front. The spindles should come with them.

The rear it depends on how you set it up. But it REALLY wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and do it

 

Since we are kinda on the topic. I have the spindles and just installed 885 coils so I'm just over 6" of frontblift and now I'm kind of nose high. I was level when I had stock coils and billies at 1.75. This winter I plan on upgrading rear suspension.

Question: which leaf pack should I go with? I was thinking originally going with AP expos but idk if it will be level. Or I could go with Dakar's + specific AAL for Dakar's and maybe a 1 or 1.5" block. Idk what would y'all recommend? Also will the bilstien 5160's work in the rear with one of these setups?

 

Before you do anything put that bumper on and see if you come down in front. Bumper plus winch brought me down .5 in

 

Yeah that will be first as soon as it gets here! I'm calling fastenal tomorrow! I'm not going winch yet so it won't be quite as far. Plus I have an alignment Saturday!

 

Yea I was thinking about getting the standard but not sure about the shocks. If I need to change them out the only ones I could find are the 3-4" Billy's on the Toytec site. I'm just leveling it out after the spindle lift. Don't want that bro lean.

 

Yea I'm most likely getting the standard but not sure about the shocks. If it raises me 3" in the back will this level me out or give me the bro lean? Not diggin the bro lean haha

 

Well give you a stink bug lean. Front will be lower. Almost and probably right at the way it looked stock minus lifted.

 

Whether you get the stds or expos you can run the bilstein BE5-B110-T5.

 

It should not be lower then the front. If it works out like it should it will leave you at +1" in rear (which is what i have on my truck and imo the perfect stance. Just my opinion though). My truck was 2" higher in rear stock so if yours is too then if you add 4" up front (that leaves you at -2" in rear) then add 3" in rear it will leave you +1" in rear. I've had mine perfectly level (center hub to fender) before and it appeared to be lower in rear(bro lean). 1" rake is my sweet spot where it actually looks pretty level.
If for some reason its too high in rear all you have to do is give the Icons a few turns and raise the front up 3/4" or so and you can get it exactly where you want it.

 

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into it.

 

Alright I'll give it a try when I order everything. Thanks for the tip!

 

Ordered my spindles and a 2inch AAL last night. I'm so pumped. Thanks for all the help you guys gave me both indirectly and directly.

 

You won't be disappointed!
