Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Looks great what suspension setup front&rear are you running?

 

So far it's just the Maxtrac Spindle with 1.25" Trailgear Wheel Spacer and a Wheeler's 2" AAL in the rear.

I think there is also a 1" coil spacer up front from when I bought it.

 

So prior to doing the CMC you had roughly 6" lift in front right and the 35's cleared?

 

Yes, with minor inner fender trimming and just for daily driving (and without a full cab of people). Slightly different wheel specs or wheel spacers could be a different story though.

 

Ok thanks Rick

 

Need a drive shafts spacer before I put my cb drop in and this is what I'm at. Which driveshaft spacer would be needed. MY hardware has 11 on the end of the bolts? And which company makes it again. My phone won't let me search on the site.

 

4crawler has good ds spacers, and your taco has the bigger bolts like mine does, 4crawler under their spacers have an option for the 11 bolt for the taco

 

Found it. Good Ole Google. Now to figure out which one I need. Time to find my calibers

 

You'll be needing to get the 11mm bolt pattern 66x66mm spacer they offer. Then just get whatever size you need

You'll have to scroll down a good bit to the area to buy the spacers but there's a lot of good info on that page

EDIT: you know how to find the size you need right timbo?

 

Use my digital calipers and measure the studs across or side by side I think. Then the internal diameter of the threads. I'll have to check it out when I get home.

 

Oh woops, I meant the size of spacer you'd need, like 0.5" or 1.5" spacer. Since you have the 11mm bolt pattern you'll have to get the 66x66mm pattern spacer

 

Measure how much it would take to get the yoke back in flush right?

 

Yup

 

This is unrelated to the spindle lift but this seems an appropriate place to ask because you guys all have 2wd. Has anyone made a cross country trip in their truck? Or has 2wd limited you? I ask because I drive a prerunner and want to make a few road trips toward the end of college and would like to explore off the road a little. Thanks!

 

I don't see why 2wd would limit a cross country trip. I took one from Florida to Texas and had 0 issues with my truck. Majority of cars on the road are 2wd, so 2wd you won't have problems taking cross country trips

 

Even thought hey have an 11 on the head doesn't necessarily mean they are an 11mm bolt. Apparently some of the 10mm bolts are also stamped with 11 on the head. If you can measure the end of the threads sticking out it should be like 10.45 (or close) if they are 11mm bolts and 9.45 if its a 10mm bolt.

 

Thanks rick.

 

Beyond excited! after 2 months on waiting for the back order on the expo leafs tomorrow i pick up my truck with the new lift installed. Ill post pics of it when i get it. I cant wait

 

Well the bolt pattern measures the 77mm so looks like thats the one i need. Ill get back under it tomorrow morning and check how thick of a spacer i need.
