Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

If you do spacers in the rear 1.25 is recommended. If you do any smaller the studs may protrude outside the spacer. The 1.25 actually evens the tire from the fender flare front and rear.

 

0.75? Without cutting the wheel studs? Sounds weird! 1.25 is what everybody else use in their Tacomas. What year is your truck?

 

2010

You'll have to use wheels with some negative space to use the 0.75" spacers without shortening the lugs. Otherwise you'll probably have to cut them a bit or replace the OEM lugs with shorter aftermarket lugs.

-edit-

This guy confirmed fitment with no issues using Bora spacers and OEM wheels.

 

Hey! Look at that sexy ladys sweet ass! She is hot! Sorry man, don't get jealous! LOL
1" wheel spacer? I thought that with less than 1.25 you need to cut off part of the wheel studs.

 

Mine is a 2015 and I have -6 in my wheels. Is anyone else here running 0.75 wheel spacers?

 

There is no difference between 2005-2015. 2nd gen rear axles are the same for this particular purpose.

What wheels are you running?

WOW! Those Bora wheel spacers are EXPENSIVE

 

They are, but you're paying for a high quality part. Wheel spacers are not something you want to sacrifice quality for savings.

 

Well, I was thinking in some Spidertrax wheel spacers. They are a well known brand!

 

Either or. Bora and SpiderTrax make good products and many TW members have used both for years in every type of driving environment for thousands of miles without issue.

Wheel spacers from both companies are hub & lug centric. Both are machined out of the same grade of aluminum. Bora offers more off-the-shelf sizes and I think they'll custom make spacers for you if you contact them.

 

Thanks for the input, man!

 

Hope I helped in some small way.

 

Guys, I'm planning to install my spindles this weekend if the weather is generous. Right now I have a couple of silly questions; Does anybody knows the torque spec from the ucas bolt and the Tie rod reconnecting to the Maxtrac spindle? I have the OEM specs but they are useless!

 

What do you mean the OEM specs are useless?

 

@sblspawn

UCA frame bolt: 85ft lbs
UCA to spindle: 100ft lbs
Tie Rod to Spindle (crown nut with cotter pin): 67ft lbs
LCA to spindle: 118ft lbs

 

Well, I was guessing that the OEM specs are good for OEM spindles, not for the Maxtrac, Am I wrong?

 

The torque specs remain the same. All you're doing is replacing one part for another that is a different size but that will operate identically to the original. The same forces are at work.

 

Unless Maxtrac specifically quotes a torque, OEM torque is what you use. Torque is usually based on the size/grade of the bolt used. If you ever don’t have a torque listed you can google torque specs for the size bolt you have and the chart will give you recommended torque based on size/grade.

 

Much better!

 

Thanks a lot, brother!
