Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

I spoke to suspension specialists yesterday they told me its still set for April....

 

Is that the same Suspension Specialists that are on ebay?

If not, have a link to them?

The people above said in about 2 to 3 weeks so I guess that would still be in April, huh? Anyone know of anyone that has a set right now for sale?

 

Do not order from "bytor"!!!. Weeks later and I'm still waiting for my money back. Already spoke to him twice over the phone regarding the issue and still no money back.

 

Bytor said he doesn't have any either. I tried buying a set off of him through Amazon and never heard anything for about 2 days. Finally went back to Amazon to cancel my order and got my money back that day. He finally sent me a message after I emailed him through Amazon saying that he didn't have any....

 

Hey Aloha.... Please PM me your information and I will get your refund....Brandon is a good friend of mine and he has been going in 100 differant directiond lately... I will get this handled....Thanks

Give something to the man that started this thread and is spreading the word about these spindles....he's a cool dude.

 

fixed

 

I approve.

 

Hey hey..don't forget bout me give something to the man that went out there to purchase the spindle found the flaws on them and shared it with you guys also got it taken care of on the new batch if it wasn't for me we would of had a bunch of pissed off customer giving maxtrac a bad review...can I get a thank you

 

So I ordered a 1 1/2" cb drop from beefed taco. Did it over a week ago and have yet to even receive a confermation email. Anyone else ordered from this guy?

 

I called and texted him over a week ago and nothing back yet...

 

I got my tracking number a couple of days ago...i ordered more than 2 weeks ago...he responded everytime i texted...he had to finish some sliders to finish...he kept.putting them on hold to finish the small things....

 

I ordered sliders from Beefed. He's a good guy and will get you your order. Best way to reach him is by text. He may take a little bit to get back with you depending on how busy he is. It took him a couple of months to get my sliders to me and a few text's but we worked everything out. If he doesn't respond take the order back, don't know what else to say. He's usually pretty good though.

 

Allright guys, I have read and viewed every respose to this thread, and thought I would share a little info. Definitly some nice rides with different set ups.
I installed my 4" Maxtrac spindle lift (Suspension Specialist) a few months back. SS recomended 1.5" to the rear, I went with 2". My measurements are as follows: front 23.5" Back 24.5".-center hub to bottom fender. Still using stock Bilsteins, This has limited my rear travel. (Just an excuse to get 5100's) The ride is just like stock, still comfortable.

So after checking out all your rides I had to jump in and bite the bullet. I drove down to Down South Motorsports (good guys to work with) and picked up a set of 5100's. The backs are the taller ones.

Questions: I want to run at 2.5 with stock springs. OR what notch would be best that you have experienced...

#1:Hows the ride.

#2: Will I need to do another alignment.

#3: What size rear block or combo AAL to make level.

#4: Will I experience any vibration, (or has anyone experinced vibration with this set up.)

As for the install of the spindle kit. First no need for ball joint special tools, SS says smack the side with a hammer, pops right off... I hear alot of hang ups happens when you get to the brake lines. As mentioned in the thread, use brake line or flare wrenches, break loose while still solid to frame mount. Once seperated, take a fine file and file the male flare off a bit. (from the factory the flare end is tightened so tight to the female brake line, it flares more insidethe coupling) You will find that the brake line supplied will thread on fast and smooth. This will save alot of time. Best to shave off the old brake line brackets. and as mentioned, you can bend them to gain more inches....I have done two installs front and rear (garage mec-a-nik) at an average of two - three hours. And yes you will need an alignment.

Ok nuff said, thanks again TW members.

 

I just put in my all pro expedition leafs and here's what I have.
Maxtrac 4" spindles.
Front bliilies set at .85 w/ stock O/R springs
LR UCA's
Rear
Ext. travel billies
All pro 3" expedition leafs w/ flip kit
I love my ride. just like stock. My back sits about 1/4" high right now but hopefully will settle to completely level. I am considering and might set my front bliilies at 1.75 but for right now I like my ride and it is a nice little jump to get in the truck now. I think I am about perfect for me. Whatever height you go with I think would be a matter of what you like best and how much off roading you do. Anytime you do anything with your suspension you will have to get an alignment most likely.

 

I would do 1.75 or. 85 for ride quality n try n minimize pre load.

 

OK, All done with suspension. End result. Nice ride,nice look (i like) and no vibrations.... I went with 4" Maxtrac with 5100 bilsteins (#F4-BE5-C477-T1), front set at top notch (2.5). Rear equipped with 5100 bils (#F4-BE5-B110-T5). I have 3" angled blocks (from 4 Wheel Parts in Compton-Main warehouse) ya I know, blocks.....If I were full off road, diiferent story...

Anyways, with 265x70x17 Falken Wildpeaks I am sitting off the ground to the lower fender (front) at 41" and rear at 40.5". for those who want hub to fender here ya go:front is 26" and rear is 25.5"

And yes, Alignment is recommended.



Thanks again for all the tips and info...and any local that needs a new set of trd wheels with 265x70x16 Hankook Dyna pro RF10 with 95% tread (tpms included) hit me up. I want local sale only if possible.
