    Anyone have a picture of there truck with a spindle lift in the front/ 5100's set at zero and a AAL in the rear? I'm wondering what my take is going to look like. I've tried looking but 550 pages is a bit much to scan through.

    Thanks in advance

    Sorry I Was kinda confusing myself reading that. I'm wondering what MaxTrac spindle lift, 5100's set at zero or .85 with a single AAL in the rear would look like.

    Well I run Maxtracs and 2016 TRD OR shocks and coils (1" taller than 2nd gen) and Dakars on the back

    But from what you are asking (if you use stock coils) you truck should sit just about level

    If you can afford it I would just skip the AAL's and just go Maxtrac spindles, 5100's on your coils (or get 884's for a slight more lift) and DAKARS for thr back.

    I actually have 5100's/ 885's and AAL in the rear. Right now I have about 2.5" of lift in the front and I'm not entirely sure what I have in the rear. I just ordered a set of MaxTrac spindles from headstrong.

    Yeah man, you are going to want Dakars or something of the like.

    Are you wondering if you should bring your existing lift down or what?

    I'm going to be switching the stock springs over onto my 5100's and setting them at 0 or 85. I was just wondering what kind of rake I'm going to have with the MaxTrac spindles in the front and the AAL in the rear.

    About how much lift did the AAL give you out back?

    If it's ~2" and you use stock coils with the 5100's ser at zero and keep the rear unchanged....you should be dead level.

    I can't speak for the Pro's but mine suck ass. They will not stay balanced Soni always have a steering wheel shake from about 50-60 & it changes when I rotate them.

    If he has Maxtrac's, 5100's set at 0, stock coils & nothing in the rear he'll be 2" high on the front give or take.

    Thats what I was thinking my front end might be a scooch high but, Im just going to play it by ear if i need to raise the rear I'll prolly just end up going with a set of Dakar's. Another question about dakar's though, will 5100's in the rear pair well with eachother? ie, will 5100's max out before the springs?

    I have a 2" AAL in the rear, thanks for the info though.

    Yeah I know but Chad mentioned doing nothing in the rear Soni was just saying if you did that you'd be 2" high in the front. From the factory there is about a 2" difference front to back with the back being higher.

    This! ^^^^^^

    My truck came with 2" rake from the factory, so I make that part of my equation when decision on suspension components.

    Mike, since he has the AAL in already, I was saying "do nothing" as just leaving them alone

    Oh I missed the part where he said the aal was already in. :facepalm:
    Then in that case yes he should be about level with just the spindles & billies on 0
