    Anyone have any experience with these? My truck is a 2003 DC Prerunner 2wd. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Screenshot_2017-01-13-07-34-44.jpg

    Doesn't Maxtrac make a spindle for 1st gens? I would check them first.

    I don't think so. Typing in their selection bars yr, model, make, and "lift"only brings up shackles.

    I wouldn't imagine Maxtrac is a superior product for spindles, they're a budget priced, cast iron spindle.

    Only dings I've heard on Fabtech is their shocks and coils are super firm and give a shitty ride. I'd consider researching these via Google and not here on this particular forum, anyway, as Fabtech is rarely used and never recommended.

    You won't get an honest reply from anybody who has never used these, and I'd be surprised if there's more than a few who have. They may not see this or be active, or reply.

    Google is probably your best bet and searching the entirety of the first gen Tacoma enthusiast pages.
