    Do maxtrac spindles cause any front end vibs?

    This might be a stupid question but I think I already know the answer, but just to make sure only 4x4s have to install the ECGS bushings right and needle bearings?

    No vibes since all your suspension geometry stays the same as stock. 2wd doesn't have the differential or CV's to vibrate so we're good!

    Only vibrations that may develop would be from lifting the rear any more than 3" or 4". The driveshaft will get pulled out a bit, but this can be mitigated with a driveshaft spacer and carrier bearing drop kit.

    Sorry but 594 pages is a lot to look through. Anyone kind enough to let me know what wheel spacers y’all are running in the rear to match the fronts due to the wider stance given by the spindles?

    Pretty sure most guys are using 1.25 inch rear wheel spacers.

    Id email Maxtrac for a hardware list.

    Then go to your local hardware store and get grade 8 stuff.

    I'm using Spidertrax Wheel Spacers, they're 1.25" some advice though, don't cheap out and buy those generics on ebay or Amazon, I've heard some horror stories about those.
