    I have a 2021 Tacoma with a 3.5” rough country strut lift and I was wanting to know if I could add the 4” maxtrac spindles to set me at 7.5”. Is this ok to do or will it cause me problems? I’m

    Define problems.

    Gonna be top heavy and drive like crap? Yes.
    Prematurely wear components? Likely.
    Cause a denial of warranty? Possibly.
    Cause immediate breakage? Unlikely.
    Ruin the looks? Opinions vary.

    Basically, you can do it, but your rear will need mega upgrades, and you'll run into numerous issues trying to deal with it.

    If it 4x2 you'd be better off with the spindle and removing the top hat spacer, it will drive much better and will still be higher.

    I advise that you dont go down this path, but if you do, post lots of pics during your journey.
    Good luck with your truck.
