    You'll need to make spacers if you plan on running a kit that utilizes a uniball adapter that bolts to the spindle like the camburg 3.5 kit. The dirt king or tc race kit won't require any spacers

    Seems like a great idea to beef up the spindles and add lift to reduce pre-load on the coils.

    Id like to see pics when this happens :popcorn:

    We have had a few of our customer's run our 3.5 long travel kit with lift spindles. I do not have any pictures with our 3.5 LT kit and Maxtracs but do have some with our performance OE width lowers and uppers. The lower arm mounts the same as our 3.5 long travel kit.05TacomaLCA-2.jpg 18381647765_a2f2f48c82_h.jpg

    I'm gonna be running TC +3.5 Race Kit with MaxTrac's soon (gonna buy the kit 8/22). I've been assured that the race kit requires no modification to work with maxtracs, due to the uniball being within an OEM spec ball joint housing. However TC's standard kit is much thinner and requires a spacer. I saw a picture of a truck that had a 1" OD x 5/8 ID rod cut to .68 inches as a spacer, but I'm not about to put a spacer on a uniball, that sounds like a broken bolt and disaster waiting to happen.

    Thanks, it went together suprisingly without a hitch. She's a big prerunner with those extra 4" in the front

    In that picture it looks super nose high for some reason. But if you look at the bed compared to the bike racks behind it and the roof to the windows it's pretty level. And they're at the preload icon sends them at and recommends

    No. I used to have 3" spacers with the spindles in the front and 3.5" lift in the rear and was nose up. Now it's got 2" lift from the coilovers and 4" spindles, but my bumper sags it down to about 5.5 in the front and 3.5 in the rear. I'm getting a different bumper eventually and the coilovers will probably settle a bit
