    Other than lifting the truck 4" they are a whole lot beefier than stock & the increase the track width by .75" on each side. Adjusting your Kings will depend on how much lift you want, if you want just 4" you'd need to adjust them to 0. If you want what you have now plus 4" leave them alone.

    A few things
    They basically just lift the front of the truck 4" while keeping the stock geometry. Your UCA's aren't at a steep angle like if you had spacers or preload etc. Plus the spindles are MUCH beefier/stronger then the stock spindles and they widen your front track 3/4" each side.

    okay so my next question is, I have 2.5 wheel spacers running on 275/65/16 if I add these spindles I could remove the spacer and run 33" tires no problem and keep almost the same stance?

    so what your saying is if I currently have a 3" lift in the front and add the spindles I would have a 7" lift if I don't adjust.?

    Depends on your wheel back spacing.
    To run Maxtracs you need:
    17" Wheel w/ 4.75" Backspacing or less.
    16" Wheel w/ 4.5" Backspacing or less

    Yes You would have about 7" if you didnt adjust.

    If you remove your spacers and add the spindles you will be 3.5" narrower than now. If you do the spindles and keep the spacers you will be 1.5" wider than now.

    Correct. If you keep your 3" lift configuration and add nothing but the spindles you will be at 7" of lift.

    Edit : Rick beat me to it

    ^^^^^ what Rick said. I'm not positive but I think 16" wheels minimum backspacing is less than 17's.

    He's talking about full width, not per wheel. Took me a minute as well.

    So basically if you take the spacers off, you'll only lose 1.75" of width per wheel, as the spindles bump out about 3/4".

    He's using total amounts. Right now with 2.5" spacers your 5" wider than stock. Without the spacers you'll be 3.5" narrower than now cause of the .75 (1.5") each spindle pushes you out. With spacers you'll be 1.5" more than now, so 6.5" wider than stock.

    I was referring to your question on "stance" so I assumed full width. At the time of the question I was un aware of rim specs.

    Uh. No clue. For an additional almost 2 inches, you'd need a rim with less backspacing. Sooooooo probably something with like 3 0 BS. Which is about the same as having your spacers I suppose. Remember, the tire is gonna be centered on the rim, so even if it's 2" wider, it's only 1" wider on each side. So then you have to worry about rubbing on your UCA'S or Spindles if you go to wide without bumping the rim and tires out

    Anyone in here run the spindles + 5100s @ 2.5" to get a total of 6.5" of lift?
    Need some reviews! Debating doing just 5100s and cranking up to 2.5" or using the 885x OME coils I bought which would give around 3" (from multiple threads I've read)

    Mine aren't set @ 2.5" but are set @ 1.75" with .25" spacer which gave .5" of lift. So I'm at 6.25" of lift, rides good.
