    So I recently just bought a JD fab 4+ long travel kit and I’m waiting to install it, I am currently running a maxtrac 4” spindle and bilstien 5100s
    My question is will the max track spindle make it too wide and tall(what I want to avoid), or will it be fine

    Yes most likely. I ran maxtrac sprinkles with LT and it was huge

    this is mine with maxtracs and total chaos LT.

    Check to make sure the lower uniball
    coupler works with the spindles. The factory spindle is a blind hole, while the maxtrac is a bolt through. Some long travels use adapters that aren’t as thick as OEM ball joint couplers, and this will allow movement in the maxtrac. I had to use TC race kit even though i’m not that hard on it, just because it has an OEM width lower uniball coupler.

    If it doesn’t work it is possible to get spacers and have seen them used on various brands, i personally wouldn’t put a spacer on long travel
