Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Judging from that pic your driveshaft spacer will probably be around 1". Like mentioned above just measure how far out that yoke is from being flush. You don't want it any deeper then flush.

 

giggity

 

just went out and measured the yoke, and ya, its right at 1" from being flush

and thats assuming im measuring the correct part basically the back part of the yoke needs to be flush with the tail housing correct?

 

Yup, should look basically like the pic that was posted above

 

Yep just like this

 

awesome thanks, I just ordered a 1" spacer for the DS, I guess now i need to get some 3* shims and see what size CB drop I need if needed

 

I run the 1.5" ds spacer and 1.5" cb drop

 

you also have double what mine is pretty much lol

I decided after having the bro lean and driving around in it...I didnt like it lol. I realized I actually liked her being leveled more, so I lowered the COs and I now have 9" tread to fender...instead of 13" lol

 

If your gonna raise the rear anymore your gonna need more spacer (just something to think about). I know you lowered your coilovers & if your happy with it there then your good to go.

I'm running the same thing.

 

I was thinking just raising the coilover just slightly maybe a half inch or 1in so when I put armor/winch on, the weight will counter the lift and she will be level pretty much how she sits now.

and plus, when I decide to do the 4x4 conversion, I can just take the spindles off and sell em and raise the COs to about a 3" lift. Never thought I'd actually say this, but Id prefer not to go any higher than 3ish" of lift. especially after wanting the bro lean then seeing and feeling how it really was.....I realized I didnt like it lol

 

So you had 7 in of lift in the front and no lift in the rear? That had to be hilarious seeing you drive down the road. So now you've set the front at 5 in of lift and still no lift in the rear. Am I reading correctly. If so you will need 3in of lift in the rear to be level give or take a 1/2". I am 6.5 in the front and 5 in the rear but I wanted a little bit of rake to accomodate loads in the rear.

 

Damn your running a 1.5" spacer? We pretty much have the same setup (up front at least) and I use a 3/4" spacer. I have Maxtracs with 5100's @1.75.
In rear I have 1.5" aal (on stock tsb leafs) and a 2" tapered block. Maybe its your expo leafs plus the block that makes you sit higher. But your not sitting super high in rear are you? I'm about 1" higher in rear.

 

No, he has the All pro 3" pack in the rear.

 

Yeah our front set ups are the same except I used my sport springs. Rear is expos & 1.5" block. My front & rear measurements are the same, started out @ 27" but after a few hundred miles has settled to 26.5". I'm sitting pretty level.

 

Gotcha

 

Just picked up my 4" lift kit from Headstrong Offroad. Awesome people. Tomorrow the install.. Minimal mechanic knowledge. Ive done breaks and shock on my car before but nothing this big. We will see how it goes.

 

Once you get in there it will all be self explanatory. Main thing I can tell is break lines and sway bar make sure before you start you undo the sway bar on both sides not one side after the other if you don't plan on lifting the whole truck up and before you take it for a drive. Spin those hubs bearings by hand and make sure they spin freely. Myself and a few others had an issue with it but they seem to have gotten that bug fixed. And make sure you route your abs wires correctly or you'll be like me and have one tear at full lock. All in all have fun drink a beer and get at it. If you run into any issues just shoot me a PM for my number and I'll walk you through it.

 

PM sent with my number if you need it.

 

Got my spindles sitting on my living room floor ready for install next week

 

Thanks guys. I'm hit you guys up if I get stuck anywhere.
