    What did you use for the rear to compensate for the 6inch lift in the front with maxtrac and 5100s. Not sure what to do in the rear. A 2 inch block maybe?

    On my old truck I had 5inch lift in the front so I just used all pro 3 standard leaf springs. But I was a little nose up. What's your rear setup right now?

    Maybe the Dakar leaf pack? But you might be nose up a little. I'm not to sure .

    dakars or all pro leaf packs and a small block would probably keep the truck close to level

    3 2 leveling kit. 285/70/17 ko2s on 17x10 fuel beast
    I have 3/2 leveling kit in my 2015 tacoma. Coil spacers and blocks. Stock shocks. I've been looking at the 4inch spindle lift and change out the 3inch spacers for 1.5inch. For 5.5inch lift in the front. In the back thinking of 1.5inch lift AAL plus the 2 inch blocks. Is there anything else I will need besides the spindles, coil spacers, and AALs?

    Am i gonna need c bearing shims, driveshaft spacer, extended brake lines?

    Cb drop is debatable, I used one and seemed to mitigate some of the vibe. With around 3.5" rear lift it seems like a 3/4" ds spacer would be optimal but I never got one or really was concerned about it.

    The spindles will come with extended front brake lines (I ordered from headstrong offroad)

    I would just go with a half inch coil spacer if I was you as that will yield 1" of lift on top of the maxtrac spindles.

    Also, I would recommend Dakar leaf packs to replace the OEM leaf packs along with bilstein b110 rear shocks (just extended 5100s)

    Lots of options here but you might as well get a setup you can run and be happy with for a while.

    @ChadsPride Thanks. I appreciate your info on this matter. So are you saying with the dakar leaf pack and b110 bilstein shocks in the rear I can get 3.5inch lift without the blocks?

    Yes, I believe they quote the lift from dakars ~3"

    I would take your time in deciding the route you'd like to take and get some more info from others if you havnt already.

    There's lots of options as far as coils and shocks for the front to pair with the spindles. It will ultimately come down to budget in my opinion.

    Buy once cry once is something I've have to learn the hard way lol.

    Could always go with an 884 coil and 5100s on the lowest clip up front or do what I did and pair the spindles with headstrong offroad 2" coils and 5100s set to "0"

    I'll try and help to the best of my ability but I'm no certified pro!

    Budget is a slight issue. I'd like to get it to the height I'm looking for now and swap out the coil overs up front later. 5 up front with the spindles and half inch spacer and 3 in the back with the dakar and no blocks sounds good to me for now. I currently have 2857017 ko2s on 17x10 -18offset wheels and was looking to go with 3157017 ko2s after the additional lift. @ChadsPride

    I'd love the bigger stance. I live in fl so it's pretty flat around here. To be honest the most offloading I do would be cruising down the beach to go for a surf after work. Hey you're pro enough in my book. Thanks for helping me understand what I'll need to achieve what I'm looking for. @ChadsPride

    Thanks again man! I've been thinking about it for months on all the different options and routes to take to make what I want happen and you really helped me come up with a solid plan. I really appreciate your time and help.

    Finally got the new tires this weekend. Now the stance looks right.
