Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Oh okay, that's cool. The cost of brackets is ridiculous for what they are. Made my own for my hi lift.
Just wanted to give you a heads up if had the ones that are cracking.

 

Thanks...no company makes them to work with oem roof rack...one guy on here made like 5 of them and that was it...so I just did it myself

 

Thanks!
If I only have the rear 4in block can I use the 5100 extended shocks?
Right now I have the Maxtrac shocks on the rear. I want to upgrade.

Thanks in advance

 

As long as you get the 5100s for rcd made for 3-4" of rear lift you'll be good....they were to short for mine so had to get 5125s

 

No problem.
Yeah the 5100's I got are for a 4"-5" lift.
model # is BE5-B110-T5, I got them from Wheelers off-road for $153 + shipping.

 

Thanks I am getting those, Don you recommend to upgrade the front ones aswell? The adjustable bilsteins.

 

i think many would recommend the adjustable billies for multiple reasons

1. the lift cababilities
2. the ride
3. changing all 4 shocks at same time

i personally was on a budget build, so I got the rear 3-4'' lift extended billies, and kept my front oem shocks, but added a 3'' spacer lift that my good buddy spruce was so kind to give me, so yea i have the maxtrac spindles and 3'' spacer lift

 

Nam beat me to it.
I did the fronts cause I wanted more than 4" of lift & wanted to do away with the spacer & better ride. Plus I just wanted to do all 4 at the same time.

I agree 100%

 

this guy!

 

Thx!
I am getting all 4, what type of Springs should I get.. Any recommendations? Or just use the stock?

 

On the website they say to use this shocks with at least a 4"block.. I just have the Maxtrac 4"lift which included the 2" rear block, should I be ok with those shocks on 2 rear blocks? I am confused. Lol

 

i think common spring combos with the 5100s are the ome 884, 885, or 886, the higher the number the more weight it's meant for, so usually intended for those who add plate bumpers and/or winches, also eibach has a spring that I see people commonly run

I don't have either set up, but I don't see a problem with your stock coils

as far as the rear shocks, I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, but I would measure what yours are sitting at at now, add give or take 2 inches to it to account for the block, and use your best judgement on which rear shock to get

I would think as long as you have sufficient up travel and down travel you should be fine.

Others may chime in with better info, or you can also call one of the websites, i hear dsm has excellent customer service

 

With the 2" rear block the std length bilsteins are used in the rear which is maxtrac p/n 776823 according to their site. With the 4" block they use the longer bilsteins their p/n 776828-7

 

If all you want is 4" up front your factory coils will be fine with the Billies set at 0, I'm still running mine set at 1.75
All the ones Nam mentioned will give you additional lift.
I thought you were going higher cause you asked about my rear setup, I have those cause I'm lifted 5.5"
If all you'll be running is a 2" block & nothing else in the rear then those shocks will be too long. You should run the ones for a 2-2.5" lift p/n 24-214667 which is a 5125 according to the dsm link Nam posted.

 

I could be thinking about this wrong, but from how I see it, if you go with the 2-2.5'' shock the compressed length is just about the same as the 3-4'' shock, and you'd get 2 extra inches of up travel, so you can't really go wrong getting the 3-4'' one, in case you want to go taller later

Hello fellow Max trackers,

Let me just say that I am very happy with this set-up! So much so that I "may" reconsider wether my next purchase will be a PreRunner or 4WD. For the off-roading that I do, the limited lift height of 4WD (unless I go drop bracket) & expensive lifts I may just go PreRunner again.

Since my wife & I plan to buy my youngest son a car next year I'll hang on to my truck for a couple of more years. I may leave it as is or set the front 5100's to 1.75, install 315/70r17, & call ECGS for a compete diff with 4.10, 4.56, or 4.88 gears. Which ever they recommend.

Thought you only had to use the lean spacer with coils other then stock. They are made to account for the lean if I'm thinking correct so if you remove the spacer it should even it out more? Again I could be wrong.

 

When I had stock coils up front I had to use the 1/4" spacer on dr side.
