Lifting With Spindles

[ag1001]

This CST lift kit with spindles is 4 inches and comes with a 1.5 inch rear kit. Honestly, I think that's a little to low for me and don't even think I would see any difference. Is there ANY way possible I can get the height up to 6 inches when using that kit.

NOTE: I would love to use ranchos or bilsteins to lift my truck, but unfortunately that isn't an option for me. It is extremely difficult to find any other option to lift my truck and that is currently the only item on the market to lift it.

You could upgrade to the coil spacer kit that would get you to 6" front lift, but you'll have to go bigger in the rear for sure with a set of new springs

I just did the 4.5" Front & 1.5" Rear Maxtrac kit on my 2014. I had a similar opinion to yours thinking it wouldn't make too much of a difference. After the install I changed my mind. I'll easily be able to fit a set of 35s underneath it when the time comes. If I could go bigger and run 37s I would have bought the larger lift, however my truck has the dreaded 3.21 rear end with an 8 speed so 35s will be all I can turn.

If for some reason you wanted to lift it more after you got the 4" kit on you could always buy their springs and a new set of shocks, throw them on and rock it that way.

Good luck! And here's a pic of my truck with the lift I just put on

when you say you changed your mind, is that meaning you liked the way it looked on your truck? I think I might have to do it, and maybe when I see it in person I'll feel better about it.

I also just did the Maxtrac 4.5" kit. It made a huge difference. You can always add 2" coils to make it a 6.5"-7" lift and then get the rear 3" coil kit. 4.5" was perfect for me and I can still fit in parking garages. In the group pic you can see me parked next to a truck that has the 4.5" spindles and my truck is stock.

Yeah I love it. I went in with the "I can always go bigger" mentality. When I finished the install I was happy with how it sat. Might bring up the rear a little to remove the negative rake but front height is right where I want it, and it'll still fit in my garage

Can you do the maxtrac 4.5 with a already leveled front 2.5 spacer? Or would that rake to much?

I was thinking of just getting the 3 inch rear lift coils instead of the spacer

Yeah you can add the spindles to the spacer but if it was me I would make the rear 4.5" by adding a spacer to the 3" kit

 

[mattmid101]

So 4.5 front with 2.5 level, rear 3 inch spring with 1.5 spacer?

I think that would be perfectly level based on my trucks measurements pre-lift. Every truck is a little different but I think that would be pretty slick. 7" front and 4.5" is what I wanted to do but reality limits me. Wife and kids need to be able to get in and out and my axle can't handle 37s.

Rear is just the 1.5 spacer

Agreed, ive seen this truck on instagram, but I really want to know the specs on it. In some pictures it looks like 4.5 with 33s, and others it looks like 7 with 35s. Maybe hes had both.

Is he a member on here?
