Spindle lift kit

^^^This is true. It can be a little time consuming. But very doable within about 4 hours.

Just take your time and don't hesitate to ask anything you need. There is almost always someone here to answer.

 

Let me ask you this. Is it possible that someone with 0 experience can complete this is one weekend? I don't mind if it takes a couple of days I just need the truck to get to work cone Monday. Like I said though, I have done a few things (mostly stereo stuff) to modify cars but NEVER have gotten underneath one.

 

Excuse the typos... Sending these from my phone.

 

Absolutely. Just takes some common sense. I had never worked on suspension before this truck. A weekend should be Plenty of time.

Don't hesitate to ask us any questions you have. Most of us have experience with this.

Having a buddy there to give you a hand can make it much faster, but it's very doable by yourself. Just take your time. You surely do not have to rush if you've got the whole weekend set aside for it.

 

Awesome. Thanks Davtopgun, I appreciate the help and encouragement!

 

Okay guys will be purchasing the 4" spindle lift kit on ebay soon and just like to know will i need to modify or extent the sway bar in any way? When i purchase the taco used it had the 3" spacer lift and didnt like the way everything stretched. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks island

I saw this last night also and messaged the company via ebay and I haven't heard back from them yet. I am curious as to what brand spindles they are using.

 

These are Maxtrac spindles. Me and many others have them installed on our trucks. No modification needed. Great spindles.

FYI, I purchased mine on eBay from LiftUSA. The same company in your ad. After purchasing, I was notified that I would be put on a 2 month waiting list. It took 2 months to get them.

Just don't expect them to have them, just because they are selling them (the lesson I learned).

 

Thanks Davtopgun, So 2months waiting list and 1month shipping to Guam but like you said great spindles worth the wait. Thanks again

 

Another question when installed the 2" blocks did you have to shim or install a extended/modified drive shaft carrier bearing? Cause when mine had the 3" spacer and aal it had bad vib, squicking and distroyed my u-joints.

 

More questions regarding the spindle lift i have just ordered Toyota Tacoma 6Lug 4" Lift Spindles 2" Blocks 2005-up for my 06 PreTaco and just like to know if i will need wheel spacer for my stock wheels and tires until i get bigger tires or aftermarket wheel set? If so whet wheel spacer size will i need. Also regarding the rear shimming what degree shims will i need or will a carrier lift be better to Aline my drive shaft? 1 more question how many inch AAL will i need for this 4" spindle lift? All help will be greatly appreciated thank you Island.

 

The kit I purchased from them came with a 2" block. The block is tapered, so there is no need for axle shims.

If you plan to leave the front end at 4", i'd toss the block and get a 2" AAL. This will leave your truck sitting level. While you're at it, you may want to consider an allpro u bolt flip kit. Not required, but it gets those threads under the axle pointed upward instead, and it's only $50.

I already had wheel spacers when i purchased my kit, so unsure if you will need them. If you're going to be buying new wheels/tires soon, just buy a set of two spacers (1.25") for the front, just to keep your tires from rubbing the spindles. ]


After installing the spindles, and new wheels/ tires. I now run two wheel spacers in the rear to make the rear tires stick out closer to even with the front, which has no spacers.


My current wheels have 4.5" backspacing and a -12mm offset.\


A long enough carrier bearing drop should fix any CB vibes. With my 4" rear lift, i had to go with 1 1/2" CB drop.

 

Thanks Davtopgun

 

Hi Davetopgun, Got any pics of you 1-1/2" CB drop? Also what size wheels and tires you running? I'm planning on running LT35X12.50X20 with -12mm offset and a 4.5 BS? What do you think?

 

Down South is no longer offering discounts. They said their prices are unbeatable as is...
