Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Oh shush you lol, I don't have the $1300 for new tires right now lol

 

1300? are you going for 37s?

 

I wish...my steering would hate me lol. Nah I'm getting 4 plus a full size spare, so 5 315/75r16s. I want Toyos AT2s...but they've been on backorder for months now

 

35's are gonna look beastly

 

So 315/76's on stock gears with a manual = 245/75's on stock gears with an auto as far as final drive gear ratio in overdrive goes. At least with the 2.7 it does. Which leads mean to believe going from 4.10 to 4.56 would be a good mix of low end power and high end mpg. Anyone have experience with a 2.7 5 speed and 35's with either 4.56 or 4.88 gears. How does it do on gas?

 

Since we are on the gears subject I would also like to know what gears to run with the 4inch lift + 34's. Running 18x9 BFD's.
Will be running AT2 325/60/18
This will be my daily commute.

 

4.56 gears work darn good for me, running 315/70/17s.

 

What part number and do you know the bolt spacing for the spacer? Thanks

 

or you could find a wheel with less backspacing and no spacer

 

@MrSalty how does it do on gas and does it feel underpowered? Also do you have the 2.7 or a 4.0

 

This is the website: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/DriveshaftSpacer.shtml
The bolt pattern you want is 65x65. I got a 1" spacer for a 3" rear lift

 

It may be the 65x65 but some are the 66x66 (11mm bolt) like mine and some other friends of mine. It describes the best way to determine which you need on that link:

• "Take care in measuring as the 65mm x 65mm x 10mm pattern is very close in size to the 66mm x 66mm x 11mm pattern, the big difference will be the flange bolts. The 10mm and 11mm bolts often have "11" stamped on the heads and the wrenching size is the same 14mm head/nut on the 10mm and 11mm factory hardware. Also, these flanges are often in the 4.5" - 5" outer diameter size. Aside from careful measuring of the bolt pattern spacing, you can usually get a pair of calipers on the exposed end of the bolt sticking out past the nut. The end of the bolt is slightly tapered, but the 11mm bolt will measure about 10.6mm in dia. while the 10mm bolt will measure something like 9.6mm in dia. If you actually remove a bolt and check, the unthreaded shank will measure out quite close to the 10mm or 11mm measurement.
• If you are sure you have 11mm bolts, order the larger 66mm x 66mm x 11mm spacer.
• If you are not sure of your measurements, (it can be difficult to get accurate measurements in the confined space of the installed drive shaft), you can use the 65mm x 65mm x 10mm spacer with the 66mm x 66mm x 11mm flange. How can this be? Well, the holes in the spacer are drilled about 0.5mm oversized as are the holes in the factory flanges. The difference between the 65mm and 66mm bolt patterns are 0.5mm wider on each half, so with the bolt hole sizes, there is enough overlap to fit a 10mm bolt through all the holes. The reverse is not true, however. That is if you actually have a flange with 10mm bolts, the 11mm bolts will not fit in the 10mm hole."

 

Thanks a lot. Make sense as well.

 

Some friends and I installed my spindles today, went with 5100 set at 1.75 + a 1/4" spacer up front with stock spring and a 3 leaf AAL and 3" block in the back. Ended up over 6" of lift. The tires are Cooper st maxx 295/70/17.

 

Looks great Mike!

 

Thank you for all your advice on the set up!

 

Your welcome, glad to help.

 

So I've been driving my truck for about a week with the spindles on and whenever I hit a pot hole or man hole or whatever that sends a hard jolt I encounter some pretty bad bump steer. Sometimes moving the truck over a hole foot. Still haven't gotten an alignment so could that have something to do with it?

 

You should have already gotten an alignment, there was no way I could've driven mine for a week after the install.
Not having the alignment done probably has something to do with your issue.

 

I haven't put many miles on it but it's been a week since its been done and I've drive it a little here and there
