    Haven't posted in a while but in need of some advice/opinions...

    Decided to add on some 4" maxtrac spindles to my current setup which is,

    Front: 5100's @ 0.85, Eibach 1.6", 1/2" Spacer DS, 1/4" Spacer PS, SPC UCA's
    Rear: 5100's, 1.5" AAL

    I want to be around 6" of lift in the front and wanted to know if it's better to either...

    1) Drop the front 5100's to 0 and leave the top plate spacers as is.
    OR
    2) Leave the 5100's @ 0.85 and remove the 1/2" spacer from DS and relocate the 1/4" spacer from the PS to DS.

    If you are going to leave the eibach springs on with the maxtracs I would set the 5100's @ 0 for a better ride. If you need a small spacer for the taco lean a 1/4 is all you should need on the drivers side.

    Thanks. But if I dropped the 5100's to 0 and put a 1/4" spacer on the driver side for the lean (which I have, but its on the passenger side) I would only be aroun 5.5" at most. Would the spacers, where they are now, be a better option?
