Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Whoops, that's hilarious

Just edited, meant: carrier bearing drop

​

 

You can get all kinds and it should be calculated by your drive shaft angles.

I'm just running flat ones but you can get the tapered ones as well.

 

Alright thanks guys it's all in I'll make a CB drop at work and I guess I gotta get my vac reset but any idea how? Besides jumping the obd2?

Next issue.
Drove it to the alignment shop. Fine.
Drove it to my buddies house. Fine.
Drove it 25 miles home. Fine.
Pulling into our street, noticed there is something groaning in the front. Assuming its steering related. PS reservoir is in normal range. What should I check next.

Tires rubing anywhere? Rack and pinion bushings worn out?

 

Nope tires clear everything fine. 90k on the truck and it didnt make noise yesterday so I'm assuming its install related

 

Have you checked the torque on everything? Lca, uca, ball joints. Sometimes those alignment guys dont torque things back to spec

 

Yes. I think I got it. Uca bushings were bone dry lol. Took a full tube for both. It went away in the driveway I'll check again tomorrow

 

Will the OME 885 really give me a 3 inches of lift up front with my 5100 set to 0?
When i add the spindles am i looking at 7 inches of lift total in front??

 

The 885s should probably give you more like 2.5"

And yes, the spindles will add 4" on top of that.

 

Thanks Chad... sucky sucky long time for you later

 

​

How much lift are you shooting for up front?

 

Not much at all.. i just want to be able to say i have a true 6 inch lift or more.

 

Haha! Good deal! You're running the 885s right now?

 

yes i Have the 885's right meow on 5100's all the up, i sit way higher than any quarreler 3 inch lift on 2nd and TURD gens. Its a rough ride so as soon as i get the spindles im taking all that pre-load off.

 

Wait...you have 885's AND the 5100's on the top clip? If so I was under the impression that that's a no-no combination. It's rough because that longer shock is preloaded to hell. If you do spindles, 5100's at stock clip, and 885 coils then you should be around 6.5" of lift (unless you add armor)

 

Yea that's a no-go like @dumontrider said. 885 coils are lift coils. They belong on the bottom ring. That poor strut is having a hell of a time. I believe the only way to get 6" is drop bracket lifts, or a spindle and a lift coil. (Or a spacer but why bother)

 

I think what he means is the 885s gave him more than 3" which is possible because technically they are designed for a 4x4 truck.

Could always put the spindles on and go back to a stock coil. I ran like that for a while.

Then go up a notch or two on the 5100s if you wanted more height.

 

Side note. Anyone have experience with the VSC reset? I've tries it, but only the ABS light flashes, tried it a dozen times, cant get the VSC light to disengage
