Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

actually wasn't poking fun at all... didn't realize I did that!

 

So i just measure again on a flat surface.. i got about 20 3/4 on the front and 23 in the rear. truck has 10500 miles on stock suspension now. im looking at a 1.5 add a leaf in the rear with 5100's..

so im guessing final lift will be around rear:24-24.5 and front will be about 24 1/2-25....

 

You got it...

 

i know the 285 will look alot better but im not sure yet.. ive tried searching what the 265/70-17 would look like with spindle but not really finding any good pics..

 

here is the 265/ 70 r17

 

are those the stock bridgestones HT? i think that was the only good one i could find and i really didnt think it looks bad... i was going to go with the general grabber at2 at that size..I will be buying the stuff this week as soon as my new debit card comes in. i lost my old one.

 

I am not sure what those are. I think those are the ones that came on it...

 

Any time bud... Only problem is ny r&d guy is out for the next two weeks. I would like to wait till he gets back... It's just easier... I'm spread a little thin since he's gone and I would like to focus on getting you fixed... thanks

 

Okay that sounds good to me. Pm me where i gotta go to, and when would be best thanks!! Im sure this is a super easy fix

 

If your referring to my truck those arent the tires that came with it. I upgraded (wasnt much of an upgrade seeing as it was the same size and i still dont think they are aggressive enough) to General Grabber HTS.

 

Ok, I am getting ready to start ordering parts for my new lift. I wanna make sure that I am not missing anything, so if you guys see something let me know.

I already have the OME 885X front coils. I am ordering the Maxtrac Spindles, Bilstein 5100 in front and 5100 extended for the back. I am also going to do the All Pro Offroad Expedition Leaf Packs for the rear, as well as 1.25 inch "hubcentric" spacers for the rear to even them out with the front spindles.

Now here are where the questions come in. Do I need to buy new u-bolts or does the All Pro Packs come with them? I think the Maxtrac Spindles come with extended front brake lines but do I need to order extended brake lines for the rear? Also when ordering the spacers do I need to buy the ET Lugnuts since the spacers are only going on the rear wheels? Also does anyone know if you can buy spacers that are .75" think since that is all the spindles kick out the front??

My buddy and I are installing everything ourselves and then I am taking the truck in to get an alignment!!

Thanks in advance for whoever answers my questions!!!

Yes you need u bolts ...get longer rear lines too

 

Also the 1.25" spacers work perfect in rear...this is what I'm using and it looks perfect

 

the expo leafs will be too much lift in the back and it will be really stiff. Go with the standards.

 

The expos with no weight in the back say they give four inches of lift. With the spindles giving four and the 885's giving two for a total of six inches this would put me level. When I measured my truck today on level ground I am two inches higher in the rear when measured from the center of the hub to the fender.

I don't want the truck to be super stiff in the back but I do want it to sit level. Will the standards give me the proper amount of lift in the rear to allow my truck to sit level???

Thanks YotaMatt, I will order the 1.25" and not worry about finding .75's!!

What size U-Bolts will I need to purchase for the All Pro Leafs??

 

All-Pro sales a good set of U-bolts for their leafs. Also the standards are 3" lift but with any weeght should net you a little under...

 

Thanks nfs!!

How does your truck ride with no weight in the back?? I usually drive around with no weight unless I have my quad in the back of the truck. Is it too stiff?? About the roughest part of my ride most days is going over the rail road tracks on my way into work!!

 

I had the Maxtrac spindles and 5100's set at 2.5 in the front and the expos in the back and mine had a 1/2" lean to the rear. If you go with the expos, you should sit perfectly level. It will ride a bit stiff, but it didn't bother me. I liked it, personally. Whichever way you go, get the ubolt flip kit with your new springs. Their only $50 and well worth the price.

 

Thank You!!! This was the answer that I was looking for. I know when I throw my quad up in the rear it will ride really nice. Everything else will be smooth roads for most part except the rail road tracks and my rear end bounces over those with the stock leafs so it shouldn't be anything new.

 

So I ordered the 5100(which arrived today), 2in add a leaf and spindle. Should install everything this weekend...I went with countersteer type x 17 rims and general grabber at2 tires. Should install on Sunday.
