Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Lol I guess I should of specified that I was referring to breaking them loose. Using an impact is a time saver but I didn't want to risk stripping the splines and then struggling to remove them. But @ChadsPride answered my doubts since he's been doing it for years and no issues. Thanks guys.

 

Installing this weekend! I'm also putting in new wheel bearing/hub assemblies. Any last minute advice? Seems pretty straight forward, just my first time with this specific install. I already broke my ABS sensors trying to get them out from the stock spindles had to get new ones. Extended brake lines already done!

 

Take your time don't rush it there'd nothing worse then having it all back together and your about to throw on the wheels only to realize you forgot to install a bolt or something important.

 

Makes sense! I've had the front end all torn apart since last weekend lol, I'm a weekend warrior when it comes to my truck projects. I'll have all my tools and consumables laid out for tomorrow! Did anyone put the hubs on pre spindle install, or is it easier once the spindles are on?

 

I’d put the hubs on after the spindles are installed. Make sure you torque everything. Also, remember your tie rods will be flipped upside down. Can’t wait to see pics afterwards!

 

In my opinion easier to put on once the spindles are on the truck but I've seen some people hold the spindle on a vise and install the hubs and torque them down once they're on the truck.

 

Had too much to drink yesterday lol gonna put this off for one more day while recuperate. I'll take some pic's!!!

 

Has anyone install these with JBA UCA? I'm having a hard time torquing down the 22mm BJ nut for the JBA's!

 

Not personally but I'm quite sure I've seen pictures of it so it should be doable.

 

I'm really dragging my feet on this install, however, I did break both anti-skid sensors and they just came in today. I found a 3/8 drive 7/8 socket that fit over the JBA BJ nut so I can now torque that bad boy. I'll knock this out this weekend!!!

 

BTW, has anyone machined these deeper, about 1/4 for aftermarket bearing/hub assemblies???

 

Also, is an alignment required after installing these? They don't change the geometry of your suspension?

 

You'll definitely want to get it aligned. Can't wait to see!

 

Thanks buddy, wasn't 100% sure about that. I just got an alignment a few weeks ago lol

 

Finally finished my install. Was very easy, only issue's I ran into were new bearing/hub assemblies didn't fit into the Maxtrac's, they were 1/4" deeper than stock, I also broke both anti-skid sensors lol.

 

Looks sweet!

 

Awesome!!!

 

Could some one do me a great favor and measure the maxtrac 4" lift spindle see picture attached for reference. It would help a lot.

 

They should be about the same. The only thing you need to do is flip the tie rods upside down on the Maxtrac.

 

Lol I know I’m a little late but I’m thinking about doing this and was wondering what all I
need for just the front I
understand the back. Is there any specific front end maintenance I should do while installing?
