Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

You having any driveline vibes? If not, did you do anything to your driveshaft while installing the lift to correct it?

 

I have 5100s up front set at zero and the rear is the ome Dakar leaf pack with sport ome shocks. i need to measure it all out to see what my official gains are. I'll update after I get home with that

 

I had a little vibe only once when taking off at a steep incline. The kit came with the carrier bearing drop kit and I did put it on.

 

Today went great!! Got one fender partially hung. Cut the piss out of my bumper to mount the bumper cap. That didn't turn out so I desided to take the bumper cover off until I can get a plate bumper. Had to cut a bunch of shit to do that. Still didn't get it off. Too far in to go back. Too far back to be happy. Everything is sucking right about now. Truck is in pieces at a buddy's house and I absolutely have to finish tomorrow. I need a bumper!

 

Still struggling with a wheel dilemma. Currently have 18x10 -24 and want to have LESS offset. Does anyone know what the least offset you can run with spindles without spacers??

 

If I'm not mistaken @Alfuh has wheels with 0 offset.

 

Yup, but i also have 4.5" backspacing on my 16s, so they barely clear, but 18s should no problem

 

You guys think this would be a good set of springs for a winch and armor

Got my glass on. Still need to make a bumper. I've pissed off a lot of people already with the white glass and no bumper.

 

Ya those should be good from what I understand of OMEs spring rates. Those are the heaviest duty springs they have out of the 884, 885, and 886 springs. I think they should work

 

@Timbo89 looks like they go from 883s up to 887s. I think the 886s will work fine, 887s look like they are more for 4runners with weight. I really don't know much about the coils, so if someone else knew more if they could put their opinion in, that'd be awesome. Looks like the 886s have a pretty firm ride too

 

Thanks I'll have to look into what the x means. I have the winch and the us offroad style mount. Want my lift back so I don't rub like a mofo at citrus and Croom in a few weeks

 

Well.....you could always get coilovers XD or if I can ever get ahold of a set of fox extended travel remote resis, i could sell you my icons for cheap

 

I read somewhere that the x just means it's an updated version of that spring. They used to have sagging problems..

 

Awesome thanks man now to figure out finances

 

I have a set for sale in the BST section. If anyone is interested please pm me.

 

887 coils have the same spring rate as the 885 coils, they are just 5mm longer which gives you about 0.5" of extra lift over the 885 coils due to the additional preload. Other than that they are the same exact coils.

I would NOT put 886 coils on a prerunner. Understanding the prerunner weighs about 230 lbs less than a 4x4 (comparing double cab 2x4 to 4x4) the 886 coils would be way too stiff. Keep in mind when ARB (OME) designed these coils they did so based off of the most common platform, double cab 4x4. This is why an 885 coil, which is supposed to offer 2.5" of lift, will provide a prerunner closer to 3". The 886 coils were designed to support a 4x4 double cab with the ARB bumper and winch. A prerunner even with a bumper and a winch still might be under the weight of just the 4x4 front end, so basically 886 coils are way over kill considering the weight they are designed to support.

Just something people need to keep in mind when selection coils, its all about the weight

 

I ran 885s on my DCSB prerunner and they were pretty stiff. Once they broke in a bit, it wasn't super bad, and offroad they were good, but I probably should have gone with 884s

 

In my experience with my Toytec 2.5" springs they are super stiff on my tuck and I got a lot of lift. Running somewhere between 3.5"-4" of lift from a 2.5" spring. Access cab 4cyl 4x2 when they are rated for a Double cab V6 4x4. I would not recommend running that kind of spring rate unless you are a total bro and just want a big lift. I'm currently saving for 6112's to lower my truck. Hoping those won't be too stiff.
