I have a question I wanted to know if anybody knows if cst is better than maxtrac or is maxtrac better than cst. If anybody has any info please let me know. I have maxtrac springs to install when I do but I want to make sure I get the best spindle I can. Btw I ordered cst but for some reason it never went through. So I have to reorder so I want to know which route I should go cst or maxtrac.

Oh ok I guess I will go maxtrac then since everyone seems to be using it and nothing bad about it.

They come with built in spacers on the spindle where as the CST require spacers or using aftermarket wheels if you have the 17" stock wheels. Plus I believe they might be cheaper

Oh ok I had spacers on my truck before so I won't be needing them in the front anymore. I have oem 20's so wouldn't be a problem of fitment.

Ok so anything more than 2. I'm going 2 now but I wanted to go 4 so I'm guess then I will have to see about shimming or new driveshaft like you.

I only payed $225 for a custom length driveshaft. So I still have my stock one if I need it for any reason.
