Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Bump if anyone's got some info would appreciate it. Thanks

 

From what I understand eibach makes 1.5" and 2.5" lift coils. so you would end up at 5.5" or 6.5" in the front with the 5100's set at 0. Then you would need 4" or 5" in the rear. I can't comment on the icons because I do not know which ones you are looking at but I know the extended length 5100's (B110) are 16" collapsed and 27" extended and they work really well at 4 inches.

 

These are Toytec branded Eibachs, 620lb, there made to do 3in, but are very stiff if you don't have weight out front, that's why mine are set at 0. Even at 0 they provide 1.6in~ over stock.
They are extended length icons, there like 15.7 and 26.8 exactly, honestly trying to see if anyone runs them. Even if I have slight rake il be fine, just making sure these would fit.

 

Do they lift 3 or 1.6? Either way you'd be at 7 or 5.6 total over stock. You'd need like 4 or 6 in the rear to be close to level & shocks aren't going to lift the rear.

 

They make two different models on these coils

112-620 1.5 lift

521600 3" lift

Both should be set at 0 when used.

 

They lift 1.6~ at 0" on billies, 620lbs for plate bumper, etc. I'm not going to run anything which means 1.6~ at 0" for me.
7? 5.6 is highest, probably going to settle to 5.3 - 5.4 ~ over stock after a little while.
As I said, I'm ok with a little rake, that's why I was asking if extended icons are good for 3.5. I understand shocks don't provide lift, I was asking if someone ran them with a similar setup or if I should stick with b110's or go down a different route, that's all.

 

Key word there, should. Previous owner of these had it at .85 and stated it was too stiff, but he was trying to get lift and purchased the wrong springs.
That's why I'm installing them at 0" on Maxtracs. Should be just stiff enough to pull the sway bar.

 

I was just confused cause @PapaBear first said they were made to do 3" then he said 1.6. That's why I said 7" or 5.6", if they were 3" you'd be at 7".
I know Eibach makes 2 different ones & most common is the 1.6".
Can't help with the rear shocks, I have no experience with Icons & haven't looked at their specs. I'm running the Bilstein 5100's (b110).

 

@PapaBear these say they're good up to 3.5" of lift so as long as you don't go over that you should be good. Wheelers says my b110's are good to 5" but I'm at 6" & have not topped out or bottomed out. Hope this helps.

 

Even though every place says 3.5, that doesn't seem accurate. Collapsed and extended lengths between the two are not even .5" difference. Very weird. The real reason I want the icons is for rebuild ability.

 

Wheelers says the Icon are 15.9" x 26.8" they're really not that far off of the b110 at 16.34″ X 27.28″. I guess enough to make a difference.

 

Still confusing non the less. I'll call Icon tomorrow when they're open and see if I can get an answer.

 

One day I'd like better shocks front & rear with remote resi's but don't know if any rear that are long enough.

 

That's my dilemma

 

It's a little harder at 6". lol

 

I am fixing to install 4" maxtrac spindles and I got a new leaf pack i ordered for 4" of lift. It's an ome leaf pack and they sent an add a leaf. What should I set my bilstein 5100 at on the front to level out with the rear.

 

Do you want to retain the factory rake?

+ or - 1.5"

(Mine was factory raked at 2")

 

I plan on about 7.5” in the rear on my new truck and will probably go with some king 12” travel RR’s. The B110’s on my old truck were toward the end of their travel at 7” but still rode fine. So that is always an option.

 

@SpruceTaco and I, I think can both agree that the B110’s are a good length for your desired amount of lift and the extended and collaped numbers on the icons and the B110’s being so similar I’d say the icons should work just fine

 

The measurements are very close & I believe he said he was only going up 3" in the rear.
