Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Havnt shared any pics lately in here, couple weeks ago.

​

 

Have any other shots of those sliders? Which ones you go with?

 

BAMF
​

I'll get some today if I can remember

 

if I go with maxtrac spindles, how much lift in the rear do i need?..... trying to figure out which AAL set i need.

 

Just get a set of full replacement lead packs.

 

I put on a 2” block and it was pretty level. I think 3” would have kept the factory rake.

 

If you're on a budget. You can go with a wheelers 2inch add a leaf and you can probably squeeze an extra inch if you get the half inch shims and the 3 degree axle shims from Toytec and pair them with the add a leaf. Should look pretty level with the spindles up front.

 

That was my setup minus the shims when I had first installed the spindles.

 

I think it's pretty good cause you can always use the shims when you upgrade to a full leaf pack.

 

Yeah I’d definitely recommend a new leaf pack if you can swing it. Although I went the alternate route and made my own pack by cutting up an oem leaf pack and adding some leaves in.

 

Here’s how my truck sits with my Frankenstein pack with a shell on and a few tools in the bed.

 

Sits perfect in my opinion

 

I ordered a set, looking for a little info. I'm running fox 2.5 EXT w/ RES set at factory setting, not 100% sure but I think it's 2". Will that put me at a 6" lift up front? Not looking for that much lift lol

 

Yes, the lift spindles will add on top of your current lift. I’d drop the coilovers down to 0-1” lift.

 

Yes, you’ll have 6” lift. That’s what I have with Bilsteins on the 3rd notch.

 

Thanks fellas! Now I just have to watch a couple videos on how to drop these C/O's without the "special" tool lol

 

Recently got new wheels and thinking about switching to spline lug nuts. But I've been seeing that on most descriptions it mentions not to use an impact anyone know if this is because they'll strip the spline part?

 

Never had a problem with mine. Been using an impact on them for 4yrs.

 

I would say it’s because you should torque your wheels to 85 ft lbs with a torque wrench. An impact can over tighten the lugs and possibly damage the wheels. At least that’s what I’ve always heard. I have spline lug nuts and have always used a torque wrench.

 

I use an impact set to the lowest torque to run em down until they bottom out, but not more than 20ish ft-lbs. Then I swap over to the torque wrench & send em home.
