    Hi, since maxtrax spindle is getting popular and I am thinking about to get it with my current setup: fox 2.5 and total chaos arms
    We got lots of snow in the winter and I really need to know how is it going to work with 4wd?
    3inches coilovers lift with 4 inches on the spindle will make it 7 inches lift in total?
    Thanks so much for answering my questions

    Maxtrac spindles create lift by moving the control arm attach points higher. The lower ball joint is now at the same level as the wheel hub, leaving no room for the driveshaft.

    ^That's a funny design. LCA and tie rod attachment points could have been moved higher for more ground clearance, creating a "portal IFS" design.
