3rd Gen Maxtrac Spindles

I know there is a lengthy thread on Maxtrac Spindles for 2nd Gens. I've seen the install video on the 3rd Gen but does anyone have any first hand experience with these on their 3rd Gen? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger but need a little more convincing.

 

I am in the same boat. I want these with 5100s @ .85 and 3 pack add a leaf in the rear and extended 5100s and extended brake lines

Did you ever purchase the spindles?

I want to get 4" Maxtrac spindles as well since I have a 4x2 so I'm curious to find out.

 

Some ones gotta pull the trigger!

I'm going this route or a full OME kit

 

I didn't end up doing it....chickened out. I was nervous because it didn't seem like there was a whole lot out there on this particular set up. If you do it please fill us in.

 

I'm surprised there haven't been more threads.

There are a lot of people on this forum that have 4" spindles whether it's Maxtrac or Camburg brand spindle for the 2nd gen so you should be able to use it on the 3rd gen tacos.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I'm also planning to do the 4" spindle lift, and was looking for someone with first hand experience on their 3rd Gen. I'm only worried about how much my stock wheels will stick out. I'm planning to keep running my stock 16" wheels.

 

Hey guys, I want to sub to this thread (even though I drive a '15) Hope yall dont mind!

 

Might pull the trigger on these spindles come tax return.

 

We just installed some about three weeks ago on my 3rd gen. Fits like a glove.

 

Pics or it didn't happen!

And how was the install? Easy?

 

Why so much lift on a 2 wheel drive? Just looks? Level of bro-ness? I have 4x2 and changed suspension, but not 4".

 

It doesn't change the factory geometry of the suspension. So you can get a nice looking lift without a ton of headaches.

 

So the only change is the offset of the lower hub assembly and maintains 100% steering and LCA geometry? I need to research this, not that I'm going to do it.

 

I've seen diagrams around here of what it does exactly.

 

I am not the most mechanically inclined so it was naturally difficult to me. lol Luckily I had some help from a bunch of good local Tacoma guys down here that actually knew what they were doing. But overall it's not too difficult after a couple youtube videos I'm sure. Pics below.

 

Oh dude, @SpruceTaco showed me this beast and I love it so much!!!




Looks damn good!!!

 

thanks.

correction: @SpruceTaco is THE beast

 

Good folks helping out a fellow taco owner!
Question for you. Did you happen to notice the country of origin on these spindles?

Thanks for posting your results with pics! What tires are those BTW?
