Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

1) That should work just fine. I'm not sure you'll get 2" out of an aal, seems like most are 1.5". I think it's 1.5 with the tsb springs & 2" with the non-tsb springs. To be level I think you'll want to be around 3" in the rear. Like @ChadsPride said you can use a 2" block with an aal & that should put you around 3.5", in theory. Another option would be just a 3" block.
2) this it the parts list from the 6" kit but has all the bolts listed. The Web site & phone number are there so you can call & it may be a possibility they sell you the bag of hardware. Or maybe @maxtracbob will chime in & can help.

3) after you get the hardware you should be set for the front. If the spindles aren't painted you're gonna want to clean & put a few coat of paint on them so the won't rust. As for the rear you shouldn't need brake lines but look into a bracket to raise the lines off the rear end to keep slack in them. Also you may want a carrier bearing drop, I would say look into getting a driveshaft spacer but don't think 3" will be enough to worry about the driveshaft pulling out of the transmission.

 

That is very useful information. I looked a little on their website for that list but I didn't look hard enough, thank you very much! I will email them and see if I can get the needed hardware as well as brake lines otherwise I'll just get it from the local hardware store.

And I figured I wouldn't get a full 2inches out of the add a leaf which is why I was debating a 1.5" block but I'm really unsure and don't want to have to buy multiple blocks

 

Are you lifted any now?
From the factory our trucks are usually about 2" lower in the front, that's why I say you want to be around 3" in the rear it the front is gonna be 5". It's funny I just measured center of hub to fender on my son's taco tonight, front is 20.5" & rear is 22.25" so that's 1.75" difference.

 

I just have a spacer leveling kit on the front right now

 

#1 I'd rather have "bro lean" than blocks in the rear. Personal preference thing though. Add a leafs work fine for a while. Definately a good budget option. How hard do you beat on your truck?

Looks like you got the rest figured out already.

 

I don't beat on it that hard. I mostly highway drive to work and to the grocery store and then about 1 or 2 weekends a month go hunting or driving on mountain roads but no hardcore wheeling

I'm only thinking about using a small block just to help keep the bro lean to a very minimal thing

 

If you can find an add a leaf that will give you 2 inches with your overload removed, leaving it in will give you another half inch. Then you would only be 1/2 high in the front. The stock leaf springs are pretty floppy and weak. Avoiding a block with the softer Springs should have a smoother ride with much less vibes.
May I ask why you're set on 5" up front? Not that there's anything wrong with that. But I'm clearing 35s after chopping my cab Mount/flatten pinch weld with billies set at 0".

 

I'm not too set on 5" up front. I was just thinking the 4" from the spindles and trying to get maybe an inch from a set of billies 5100's up front. I just want it to get a little taller, I'm running 265/75's and maybe 285's when they go bad. I wish I could get some coilovers that are adjustable on the truck so I could leave them at 0 and possibly adjust them taller if I wanted without taking them back off. But if you're getting that much clearance with only the spindles, I think I might stay with only the spindles for the lift

 

Yeah, adjusting the 5100s is a pain in the ass. I'm sure either way you'll be happy with the result. It's gonna ride sooooo much better than a spacer lift. I was in the same boat before the maxtracs.

 

I would just do Maxtracs and Dakar leaf packs. That way if you ever put ANYTHING in the bed or Tow it won't be so saggy.

 

Bro lean, bro lean! I have dakars with about 6.5 up front. Have to measure hub to fender

 

Posted a few pages back Page 423

 

Here it is. But that much of a lean in the back doesn't bother me too much

 

I remember now, I think it looks damn good!!!!!!!! Hows it riding?

 

I honestly cant stand the bro lean....I had it on mine when I first installed my maxtracs. But I quickly lowered my coilovers because it just looked retarded. I love where mine sits with it being pretty much level

 

my truck looked retarded with the lean....lol

 

I like my shit, it's just shy of an inch lower in the front

 

Rides way better with the dakars than the icon aal
