Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Finally got them on..pretty simple install.
The brake lines were a bitch to crack loose without rounding them off.

Maxtracs, 5100's at 0 w/stock coils, 1.5" rear, 1" wheel spacer front, 1.5" wheel spacer rear
I got a slight lean...thinking of getting the icon 3 leaf or just rock the lean.
She rides way better compared to when i had 885s...but excited to see how she'll really handle once i get an alignment.

 

NOW would be a good time to check out www.headstrongoffroad.com and check out their website and products. That's who I bought my Maxtrac spindles from and my wife can't wait to help me install them when they are delivered.

 

Orrr...

I ended up ditching the 1" wheel spacers up front. Noticed a ticking sound up front. Jacked it up and noticed
the spacers were loose. No beuno. they did not want to seat properly.
The width match perfectly with 1.5" spacers at the rear. Still pretty wide, but i loved how it looked with the 1"

 

What spacers? Did you torque them down and throw some lock tight on the nuts?

 

yes. before spindles i had 1.5" spacers with extended thread nuts. i used those nuts with the 1"...come to find out the
extended shaft of the nut interfered with the spacer sitting flush against the hub.
so i tried using the the nuts it came with but the nut protruded the spacer which would interfere with the wheel sitting flush.

so ditched it all together. i guess its fine since now the width is even with the rear..i just wanted that extra width.

 

Just a 1.5'' block in rear? Tsb or non leaf pack? Whats the hub to fender measurements?

 

Before I paint my spindles, does anyone notice the grinder marks on the spindles, once installed? Debating on taking a flap disc to the whole spindle before painting...

 

yes. non tsb leafs. i'll have to measure again. but when i had 885s and the 1.5 rear i was about 24 5/8 front and 25 flat rear.
now its a little nose high. looks really pronounced in the pics because i was parked on an incline.
debating on a icon 3 leaf and keep the overload.

 

I would really recommend to anyone looking to bring the rear back up to buy an actual leaf pack and not an AAL. I'd say the majority of people that put AAL on our shitty OEM leaf packs end up replacing them within a year as the OEM leaf packs just deteriorate quickly and an AAL is basically just a bandaid on a gunshot wound

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Guys NOT an opinion here But FACT !

So much so I'm on my second set of factory leaf packs in less than a year, 1st set which I bought with the truck and added a single AAL immediately and the ride height was perfect, the second set was with a newer set of leafs and an Icon 3 leaf pack and it is also now sagging.

My AllPro Standards are now on the way, don't make the mistake I did, the factory leafs don't make the cut especially if you haul things that have some heft or take it off road much . . .

 

I've had an add a leaf for two years with no problems and I do haul with it and the truck is off-road as much as possible

 

You Sir are the Exception and not the rule , I should have clarified that this is Fact for Double Cabs, the action cabs don't suffer from this . . .

 

Action cab - that is a much cooler term.

 

My leaf packs are going away with my new setup. I am going with EMU 2.75 set to compliment the 4 inch spindle. My factory leaf pack at 24000 miles is flat.

 

What kind of rake are you expecting from that?

 

Bday present to myself
Thanks Chad for setting up the group buy!

 

It should be level. I have about 1 3/8 height difference from front to rear now. I may need to shim later. As long as I am close to level I will be happy.

 

You have some nice "spindles" Delaney! When are they going on?

 

Oh ok and I like that I think I'm gonna start using it
