    Yessir!! I've got stock 2016 TRD OR shocks and coils.

    They gave me 1" of lift on top of the Maxtracs. I like the spindle because you can get a good looking lift and add to it in a whole array of other ways.

    I think it's worth it in the right conditions. I'm normally happy with my 5100/885 front setup. I was just out this weekend and ended up in an area that was something like 5,482,916 square miles of the worst God forsaken whoops I've ever seen. I currently have Bilstein 5100's & OME 885 coils.... they were not happy with the whoops, anything much more than idle had me scraping my wannabe OEM skid plate as I bottomed out. I'm now in the market for coil overs ASAP to match my Icon remote reservoir rear setup (smooth as butter). It's just money

    @rainyben45 if it means anything at all I would go with the big boy coilovers. it will make you a lot happier in the end. I was going to to get Billy's but I couldn't justify spending the amount of money that I would have and not being completely satisfied with my purchase. it ultimately comes down to what you are willing to spend. and how you want your truck to look. don't get me wrong though Billstien is a very good shock and has proven them selves with durability and quality.

    Anyone seen my wallet?
    Are those the 4 inch fenders? Do maxtracs widen the stance or are you running spacers? I want to run mcneil 4s without LT LCAs

    What would the best option for lifting the rear be for the money? I know Headstrong has a 4 inch maxtrac kit that comes with the blocks and shocks for the rear but I've seen so many other options reading through this thread

    Yes it is. Adjustable is key. I keep mine at 0. Just using the maxtracs for lift. Rides very caddy like.

    In this picture those are not the 4" fenders but I do have em on now. Spindles do widen the stance a little and I do have a 1" spacer on the front. It fits those fenders pretty nice. I'm stoked with em.

    Wasn't too bad at all. Just take ur time lining em up before u drill ur holes. I had to slot mine a little to make em perfect but wasn't bad.

    I kinda figured slotting the holes would be best. I installed some fiberworks on a 99 awhile back and it was a booger getting them to line up with the doors. I really like the way the McNeils look on the 2nd gen

    @rainyben45 Yeah, i crunched the numbers and for a total of FOUR spidertrax's spacers it was gonna be $199.98 through 4wheelparts here in Virginia Beach...so i thought...why spend that much on spacers when i could get 2 Pro Comp wheels with the specs i need for LESS than $200. The ones i found are like $80 a wheel on Amazon. Not the absolute greatest but still look pretty good. Actually saw the exact same wheel on a Jeep at my apartment complex this morning and it looked pretty damn good wrapped in some 33" Mickey Thompsons

    @rainyben45 Just keep looking around man. Find what you think will look best and pull the trigger when you've found the look you want to achieve. I've spent months saving and looking through this site (primarily this thread) and simply looking on google images. I'm glad i didn't just dive right in and get all the wrong stuff and spend way too much money. It's taken me about 6-7 months but I've found everything i need/want and am going to be able to make the truck look like how i want for about $2500. That includes the spindles, 5100's front/rear, wheels, tires, and all hardware.

    @HuntTaco damn that's not too bad at all, yeah for sure, I've been cruising around on different setups and trying to decide on all the different aspects. Did you get your stuff from headstrong?
