Maxtrac Spindle + King 2.5’s (Question)

Hi all, first post here. I’ve finally come around to do some long awaited upgrades for my truck. I’ll attach some photos of what it currently looks like right now.

My plans as of right now are
front:
- King 2.5’s coilovers w/ remote resi’s
- Bajakits Boxed UCA’s
- Stock LCA’s(buying brand new ones)
- Maxtrac 4in spindles

Rear:
King 2.5’s w/ remote resi’s
Deaver mini leaf pack

wheel and tire set up:
- method race wheels machine polished 16x8 wheel
- Toyo RT 285/75/16

I have ordered the Kings and the Bajakits UCA’s already but One of the main questions I have right now is whether or not the Deaver mini leaf pack will do the job and give me a level look in the rear, I do not mind a slight higher front end but nothing significant. If anyone has pictures of a similar build they have done, or just plain out know what to do, I’d greatly appreciate it!

my current set up is Bilstein 5100’s maxed in the front , 17x8.5 fuel vector wheels with Ko2’s 265/70/17. Great setup and I’ve loved everything about it, just time to spoil myself.

 

Should I post in another forum?

 

what spring rate are you gonna run on the kings? The coilovers will provide additional lift on top of the 4" that the spindles provide. Also, stock a taco typically is 2" higher out back. So if you have spindles up front (4" lift) and coilovers that offer another 2", youll be at 6" up front, which means youd need a leaf pack that lifts 4" out back for it to sit level.

 

Oh, and welcome aboard Clifford!

 

Nice. Post pics when done. Just bought a lift too.

 

almost... i have different UCA's and springs

 

What springs ?

 

This was my truck with 4”maxtrac spindles and about 1.5” more lift from coilovers.
I had a wheelers 2” add-a-leaf mini pack in the rear.
285/70/17 tires.



I’d say you could do a 2” lift in the rear, with any add-a-leaf pack, and then lower the coilovers down to zero preload, or whatever you like. They will most likely come set at ~2”.
The less preload you run, the better the ride feel as well.

I currently have about the same lift heights (5” front, 2” rear) but with long travel and fiberglass fenders. Still 285/70/17 tires.

 

I have Dakar’s with TC uca/kings/ 285/75/16 Tires... not the best pics of side shots but gives u the idea

 

I just bought Deaver j66 leafs, do you think it’s going to sit the same as yours?

 

Looks outstanding the way it is,NICE truck.

 

Just for reference this pic is how much load is on the front with my Dakar’s (approximately 2.75” rear lift) which I think the deavers u ordered only give about 1” lift so you’ll have to use less preload than mine...as I don’t have deavers though someone who does might be able to chime in with real use experience

 

Sweet set up, cant wait to see it when its all installed

 

She’s done boys

 

You wanted it poppin up that much in the front?

 

I’m running 33’s right now, but I’m going to go to a 34 in a few days, I wanted a little bit of nose rake, I’m sitting 2in higher in the front than the back currently
