Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Not a bunch, plan on dropping the front about an inch eventually when I get some free time... Don't do a ton off pavement, occasional dirt road and mud hole...

 

Most end up running 1.25" spacers because its a popular width spacer for most brands. Bora makes a 3/4" spacer for our trucks though.

Per Maxtrac's site and based on the pushout I've personally measured its 3/4" per side unless the spindles changed or I'm a fuck tard when it comes to measuring.

 

I agree...it's more than 1.5" gain.....

 

yes same rims, i measured them twice and then went straight in the house and ordered the spacers, and measured after and now they're equal

 

All this is really good information for people like me that dont know much. so thanks for the info everyone! I also will be ordering ucas this weekend but not sure which ones to decide on. Debating on light racing ucas or TC to run with my maxtrac spindles 5100s and eibach springs. What would u guys personally recommend id like to hear some input

 

OK..... Just the facts... Mr. Salty is correct...Our spindles do widen the track 3/4" per side... Now why you are getting more is because of camber. just like this picture the front wheels have camber and the rears do not. This camber change will move the front wheels out further on the bottom thus changing the track width.. ALSO if you lower the pre load on the shocks after installing the spindles that will change the track width also. Last one is if you jacked the front of the truck up and the front wheels are off the ground the track width will also change by drooping out the suspension the upper control arms will pull in the top of the tires which will push out the lower half of the wheels.. Hope this helps.... Thanks

 

there we go, sounds good, yeah im running stock coilovers up front so if you were to raise an after market coilover you would get a shorter measurement, im getting kings here in a few weeks but not going to jack up the front anymore so i will still be equal track width as that was my goal with installing the spacers

 

Your decision should be made based on how you plan to use your truck. Honestly if running eibachs and just 5100s go with LR UCAs and save some $$$. If you plan to hit the trails hard and eventually want a nice set of extended coilovers go with the uniballs.

 

So here is my 06 prerunner with eibach springs billy 5100s and maxtrac spindles. Billys are set @ 1.75 sits pretty high but I know itll settle overtime especially once I put my prerunner bumper back on. I am really pleased with how it rides and looks. Cant wait to get my aal and shocks for the rear. Major bro lean but itll be fixed when I get the cash

On a side note: will my truck be okay with my stock ucas for at least a month or so until I have the cash for some ucas ? Getting it aligned tomorrow also

 

Spindles wont effect the geometry at all so the 1.75 is the only thing that'll affect the alignment in anyway but you're under 2" so you should get within spec no prob.

 

Good lord that fronts ridiculous. There's no aal that will level that out. Your gonna need a whole new leaf pack or a big ass block to level that out. Bring the front down and make the ride better.

 

Im actually happy with how it sits and rides upfront just want to raise the rear end up 1.5 to 3 inches and dont want blocks unfortunately. Id like to get some extended billys for the rear with an aal. I know ill still be nose high but thats the look I want ive always wondered why access cabs get bigger lifts with this setup though?!

 

Cool cool. Thanks for the input

 

How high is the lift in front? I calculate 8 inches?

 

The 1.75" setting does provide 1.75" of lift with the use of stock coils. You have eibachs which have a higher spring rate (620) and typically just yield more lift anyways because of the quality of coil. These will not really settle much if anything at all on a 2wd truck.

My guess is you are getting more than 1.75" of lift with that setup and I suspect when you have an alignment done they will be using nearly all the adjustment available to get the numbers right.

Personally I’d drop the truck down some, but then again I really wouldn’t go over the 4" of lift simply because I care more about quality of ride and performance over height.

 

Yeah ill definitely be dropping it down to .85 sometime this week. Rides fine and alignment is not that far off which is surprising. After I drop it down I should be at a 5 to roughly 6 inch lift. Also will be getting aal and some billys for the rear. Ride quality should be a little better and should still be nose high just not as high as I am now so .85 should be where I want to be ill see when its done. Cant find an access cab with 285s @ .85 with this setup. Ill post up some pics when its all said and done

Anybody on here running this setup (access cab) with billys set at .85 or even 0 with nothing done to rear just curious to see what it looks like thanks everybody

 

So here is a day picture of my major bro lean but like I said will be dropping it down to .85 or even 0 and also adding addition weight with my prerunner bumper. If anyone has access cab with this setup please post a picture. Id like to see what .85 or 0 would look like with this setup. Will be dropping this major bro lean down by this weekend before my casters start messin up thanks

 

Anyone running these spindles with the TRD faux beadlocks that can post a picture?

 

Lookin beast, nice job !

 

Thank you. Wasnt too bad of an installment just a long process
Cant wait to get my rear setup going now! Heres a pic of it all back together with my bumper back on finally
