    Ok I’m ready to pull the trigger on a new lift. I have a 2017 TRD Sport 4x2 double cab short bed. After looking at tons of pics I know the look I’d like to achieve. This will be a daily driver and prob see no off-road driving. I’ve been considering the Bilstein 5100 setup with new coils and AAL in the rear. Possibly new LR UCA’s or the maxtrac spindle kit from headstrong. Any other ideas please chime in I’m ready to buy. Give me your reasoning if you respond plz, Thanks for the input fellas. Wheels and tires will be right after.

    Maxtrac spindles and Dakar leaf packs

    You can always add new coils and shocks up front with them for more height or improved ride

    But the spindle lift is the way to go on a 2wd truck

    Best looking lift with the least amount of headaches when it comes to aftermarket upper control arms and alignments

    What’s the install price on spindles? Also I see that it’s a 4 inch lift I’m concerned about the tires looking too small as I will most likely not go with 285’s.

    I don’t think you can use spindles with a 4x4

    Can I run stock wheels and tires with the spindle lift until I get new wheels and tires?

    Not certain about the install price

    I'm sure you could find some local members willing to give you a hand

    I ran 5" lift up front on 265s for over a year

    Didn't really bother me
