    You'd only be loosing a half inch on each side of center. So instead of a sidewall a little over 9" you be a little under, probably around 8.75".

    My math was off, don't know what I was thinking but I changed it . You'd get used to it, you're only talking an inch total.

    Do you need new uca's with a spindle lift to get your alignment right?

    No sir. Thats the beauty of lifting with spindles.

    The factory geometry of the suspension is not changed.

    Well thank you, and yes I have a 3in rough county spacer lift. Truck still has rake and I hate the quality of the spacers. Want to do the 4in spindle lift.

    Just do it man!

    I would get in touch with Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road

    She will put together a really nice kit for ya that wont break the bank.

    I would suggest swapping the rear shocks and blocks that come with the Maxtrac kit for Dakar leafs and Extended Length Bilstiens

    Thats what she did for me and I love it so much!

    Cool, I'll have to look into that. How much does she usually charge for something like that ?

    I have Icon co's and Icon aal good for a couple inches. I went this way because I wanted a suspension upgrade but didn't need the lift spindles provide. I also have 16" FJ wheels and am not willing to give them up. I am considering Maxtrac in the future so I can run bigger tars. This will be several years down the road but I'm planning now. Is there anyway to keep my 16" wheels with Maxtrac? I'm also worried about a stiff ride in the back when the leafs are replaced. I really enjoy the ride of the Icon aal and don't carry much weight. Although it seems to be growing....lol. I appreciate any input from you find TW members!

    I don't plan on doing anything till I rebuild the coilovers in 40,000 miles, so who knows, I might go to a 17" by then.

    Damn!!!! Yeah. I love my spindle setup. Got instant lift without having to worry about UCA's or alignment issues AT ALL.

    I also plan on adding King/ADS coilovers down the road at some point.

    Depends on the wheel. Running 16's and the spacers I have are in the rear to even out the width to the front.
