Just installed my 8 inch lift on my 2013 ram. I haven't seen the Maxtrac lift or rode in one but I believe the new FTS lift is better by far!

True I have no real world experience. I was just going off of research and people I've talked to who have installed and driven the Maxtrac lift. I don't have first hand account. I'm trying to get pics up haven't figured out how yet I'm on my phone.

Just out of curiosity, why did you put an 8 in lift on a 2x4? Y not buy an actual 4x4? Not digging on you just curious.
Nice looking rig btw

I bought the truck used because it was more affordable for me then. It had everything I wanted on it except for being a 4x4. I had a 4Runner before that was 4x4 and realized that I never used it that much anyways so I decided a 4x2 would be enough. Also I've always wanted a lifted truck

Truck looks awesome. I think the 35's are the right size with that lift.

Yes very new. Not sure if it's on their web site yet. You have to call them to get info. Was told it was a better option by an authorized Maxtrac dealer who installs them.

Interesting. I saw it online, i wonder how low you can get the price lol. On GMFS they give a pretty big discount, you can get the 7" kit for like 900 shipped.

I dont see how its a better option than maxtrac, other than it appears that they are only using a front lift spindle? I dont see new coils or spacers (I dont think?) in the photo of the kit. But Im also thinking the photo on the website might be the 4wd kit.

Do you have any up close pics of the suspension?

Yes, front lift spindle and spacers. The original coils go back in. I'll try to send pics later today(at work right now) it rides exactly the same as factory except I notice the heavier weight of the bigger tires
