I finally lifted my 2015 EcoDiesel yesterday. Took me a few hours to do both front and rear. I did the four inch spindles in the front and 3 inch lift springs in the rear. MaxTrac has their suspension systems down to a science and its a very strong and well built kit. I do say they need better instructions though. I think the truck rides better than factory is very smooth. Now I'm waiting on my tires since they are on backorder. More to come soon!

From the side it looks like its sagging, but from the front looks like the back is up higher. Before the lift i measured and after installation the rear should be 1.5 inch higher in the rear. I will take another measurement tomorrow.

I love my diesel! I mainly like getting 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Im sure ill looks a mile or two per gallon after wheels and tires. Thats much better though than my last truck with a 6" lift and 35s that got 9 mpg in the city and 12 mpg on the highway. Ive pull triple axle boats trailers with the truck and it doesn't even struggle to get going from a dead stop. Overall I'm very impressed with he fuel milage and towing capacity.

Looks great. I have the same lift waiting for enough time on a weekend to install it. How did the install go??? Any issues cutting the crossmembers? What size tire are you going with?

you don't have to cut anything just swap wheels bearing to new spindles, and rear kit is super simple. I'm running 35's but can't decide between nit terra grappler g2 or trail grapplers.

You should test drive one for a v6 with only 240 horsepower it really moves! and today at 70 mph i was getting 32.2 mpg, and dropped it to 60 mph, and averaged an amazing 34.4 mpg for 30 minutes steady. You get a truck with prius fuel milage
