    Ah, okay. You're right man, you'll definitely need spacers because IIRC you can't use OEM wheels with spindles without spacers. Hopefully someone else can confirm this.

    For sure, I know I’ll have to use spacers regardless because of the backspacing of the OEM wheels. I know some have done it with 285s, i’m just concerned bigger tire sizes might just be too wide. Thanks dude.

    Haven't had a chance to read through the whole thread. Did anyone experience creaking or popping sounds when turning or braking after maxtrac install?

    What is the best way to remove the struts now with Maxtrac spindles? I was thinking on disconnecting the UCA, the Sway bar link and loosening the camber bolts a little. What do you guys think?

    Question. If you have a 2.5”-3” OME lift and don’t want to go any higher in the front, what reinforced spindles would you go with?

    Buy the total chaos reinforcement plates and have them welded on.

    Or just sell the OME shocks and coils and put on Maxtrac spindles

    Headstrong Off-road 2" coils with 5100s on the bottom clip. SPC light racing uppers. She is riding so much better than the 3rd gen offroad shocks and coils i had.

    Actually feels like there is some travel on the front end now!

    So far have you seen any decrease on the already bad mpg?

    Shit, I've never once calculated my miles per gallon. (Not even when she was stock)

    I really don't drive it much so I'm not too concerned
