Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

I got them set at 1.75 but also have Toytec 1/4" spacers on both sides. So that's about 2.25" plus 4" from the spindles & I still rub when I have people in the truck. Mainly on the cab mount at full lock. I want to adjust them up to 2.5 so I'll be 7" total & see if that helps with the rubbing.

 

FWIW at 7" or a little over that on 285's and spidertrax rubbing is not even thought of. I did trim for 4" then went to 7" so that could help.

 

Yeah when I had 285's they didn't rub & I just had the spindles & at at 1.75, so like 5.75"

 

I figure with the spacers they swing more like a 315 without spacers it rubbed pretty hard at 4" before trimming and after trimming at 4" only rubbed backing out of my driveway at full lock.

 

That's how mine is right now. Every once in awhile it will rub backing out at full lock when it's just me but if I have the truck full of peeps then it will do it more times than not. The extra weight compresses the suspension just enough so they rub so I figured max the 5100's out which is another 3/4" & than should help.

 

My current setup is 5100's all around without the top plate spacer, LR UCA's, a 1.5" AAL, and wheels aith a 4.5" bs. I have a cab mount chop and did some very minor trimming on the bumper and fender liners and my 285's don't rub at all. I plan on slowly redoing my suspension. First up are the spindles, then all pro 3" leaf pack, and then some fox or icon 2.5" coilovers.

 

You already have the cmc done & that's mainly where mine rubs. There & occasionally on the plastic liner in the front on the bottom.

 

I've done a cms already but need to take more off I catch my lugs when I turn sharp

 

Hey guys if I was to run Maxtrac spindles could I run 33/12.5 without hitting the spindle? The rims would be 20x10 with a -24 offset with a 4.5" back spacing.

 

Guys having some difficulty with the front brake lines. I tried the top connection first with a 10mm flare nut and it started to strip so I stopped. Does the clip need to be removed at the bracket first? Its the u-shaped clip silver color. Does the hard side turn or flex side of the line? I noticed on the new lines its the flex side that is tightened on.....Thanks!

Also what are you guys doing to slow the brake fluid from coming out while you switch it out?

 

I didn't have any trouble getting mine loose. It's that flex side that loosens & I just switched it as fast as I could, no way to really stop it cause you can't crimp the hard lines or anything like that.
Just switch them as fast as you can & refill the reservoir.

 

Thanks Spruce! I owe you one! I will attempt again tomorrow.

 

No problem, another little tip is to connect the top or reservoir side first & then the caliper side. That way gravity will kinda fill the new line & it won't have so much air in it when you bleed them, if that makes sense.
And you don't owe me anything, haha glad to help.

 

things are gonna hopefully change next week , im excited, part 1 of 3

 

Has anybody experienced Taco-lean with the spindle lift? From what I've read it's pretty common with lifts and it happens on the driver side?

 

Not with spindles. Taco lean comes when you start putting on aftermarket struts and springs. If you plan on using the stock shocks, you'll be fine. I'll be running coilovers with mine therefore I'll have to adjust for the lean

 

Ah I see, thank you

 

Yea that's what I thought when I first heard about it
