    So I'm sure there are plenty of threads about this already, and yes I did use the search field, I just didn't find an straight answer. So here I go...

    I'm looking into getting spindles sometime in the near future. I do little to no wheeling, in fact, all the dirt my baby sees is from when I get off the highway to a camping spot.
    I am pretty familiar with Camburg and TC and know that those brands are great for taking abuse. Since I will be mainly a mall crawler I was wondering what people thought about MaxTrac?

    Not to sound like a dick, but I don't want to read that you recommend one brand over another only because you have it on your truck. I need specifics.

    Best true 4" spindle there is out there. Will maintain all of your factory geometry.

    I am not recommending this brand over another because I only have experience with this brand......

    How long have you had them? Are you using the OEM UCA?

    I have had them for about 2 months. I am actually using the Light Racing upper control arms only because I like the amount of adjust ability they provide. If you are looking to lift and retain your factory ride, I know for a fact that these spindles work perfect...

    A lot of socal guys have the maxtracs installed, you could probably find them in either the groupbuy thread or marks spindle thread and get a hold of them to check them out? I too have these which i got from the past group buy and they are a complete change from my cheap spacer lift I had before. You didnt really give us specifics besides you are going to be mall crawling, which if your just going for looks and dont want to fork over about a grand, than the maxtracs are good for you. Also you will NOT need new uca's. Youll just need to lift the back and since you say your not going to be doing anything extreme you could get away with an add a leaf or even if you want some blocks

    Yup it will be 90% show and I will probably end up with a small AAL lift for the rear like you said. I like the Cali lean (bro lift) look so it won't be completely level.

    The price on the MaxTrac is more in my favor. I wouldn't say I'm cheap but I don't like to spend money where it isn't necessary.

    Thanks for the feed back you guys!
