    Maybe even add the word "TacomaWorld"

    Maxtrac spindles, All-Pro offroad leaf springs, 285-70-17 nittos, avid offroad steps
    Finally got around to getting some new tires. Went from 285/70 nittos to a 285/75/17 toyo at 2. Fits perfect and didn't have to cut or trim anything with spindles and 5100/884 combo.

    So is this may be a dumb question: but if i have the bilstein 5100's in front and 5160's in rear, set to 3inch in front (2.5" maxed out). if i add these spindles, will it add lift? or just adjust the geometry of the lift?
    thanks!

    Nah, I just left the sway bar alone.

    Extended front brake lines come with the Spindles through @HeadStrong Off-Road

    Appreciate it! I've only done strut replacement lifts before so this was some new territory. seem's straight forward enough though!

    Should be able to handle it!

    How much lift are you wanting?

    You could always go with Maxtracs and drop the bilstiens down to zero for a better ride quality

    I have essentially a 3 inch, was looking for a 4.5-5 inch for better tire clearance and a bit more of a level.. I have 2.5" spacers i could put on top of the 5100's maxed out and get that effect, but i don't think the geometry would work well, so I'm leaning towards spindles....

    You could go Maxtracs and 884s with the bilsteins on "0" and be around the 6" range up front

    Thats what I'm going to do next

    Right now I have the Maxtrac spindles and 2016 TRD OR shocks and coils and those gave me an extra inch

    For sure! :cheers:

    I asked probably more questions than I can recall and was also helped along during the whole process.

    There are tons of options so I would just continue to figure out what's best for you

    And asking questions is the way to go!

    Is anyone here running 295/70r17's with the 4" spindles? If so how much trimming is required?
    I was planning on going with 285's but my local tire shop has a good deal on a set of 295 Ridge Grapplers. Just wondering if it would be worth it.
