    Maxtrac spindles, rear extended bilsteins, color match grill, touchscreen radio,moto metal 951 16s,
    Front option, u can go completely stock with just spindles n brake lines. I THINK some ucas are not compatible with maxtrac spindles, but I could be wrong. U can get some billies set em at "0" which some will suggest, but u do not have to.

    Rear options are endless. Whole new leaf pack is best but most expensive. Then aal, then aal and blocks. I personally went with blocks and extended bilsteins. MOST will frown on it. I don't off-road or haul so the ride is fine for me.

    Check out here
    http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/complete-lift-kits-tacoma-05-6-lug.html

    These are the full kits. All pro leaf packs seem to be best option for whole new leaf.
    I emailed headstrong off-road n they added extended bilsteins and 3" blocks instead of 2 and all together was 735$ shipping included.

    Just keep digging and more will chime in. You will find what u want, all depends on needs and budget.

    Btw everything I just said was for 05-11 sorry! Should be true for 13 as long as it's 2wd n prerunner

    Just dropping this here for anyone questioning whether Total Chaos LCA's work with Maxtrac spindles. In the picture the shims between the LCA spindle adapter and the double shears are below the spindle adapter plate but I had to change that to putting the shims on top of the spindle adapter plate. Otherwise the lower double shear would hit the LCA when you went to full lock with your steering wheel.

    I'm a little confused by the question. So far I've seen your spindles working on an Engage kit and now on my TC Lca's. Its just a matter of having the correct spacer. If that is what you are referring to. The only issue I see with making them is the size of the shim is determined by the size of the LCA spindle adapter plate. I live about 5 miles from your shop so I can come down there if you'd like.

    I machined up some spacers for the Total Chaos LCA's to adapt to the Maxtrac spindles. Much happier with this than the washers I was using.
    Steel rod 1 inch OD, 5/8 ID and .680 height. They fit absolutely perfect. Just had to tap them in lightly to fit.

I wish my Deavers provided more lift in the rear, but taking the preload off of my coilovers will be worth the extra inch up front. I'll be sure to post some pics!
