I just saw those the other day on ebay, pretty sweet. Now we can get 6" lift up front with just spindles and a small spacer

 

[DatacomGuy]

Ohhhh myyyy godddd. So excited..!! Thank you for posting. Plan on ordering shortly.

2.5 level + 4.5 spindles is 7".. Giddy UP

 

[DatacomGuy]

Would one need shocks with these? And what does one need for the rear?

 

[ramin44s]

The CST comes powder coated and isn't cast iron which I like better but I those still would get the job done

how far can you go with the rear spacers without havein to buy new shocks. it would need to be about 2.5" to be level with the front.
can you drive that bis spacers with oem rear shocks?

 

[sausec17]

nothing else needed up front. you could run up to a 2" rear spacers (max) without new shocks. im running a rear 1.5 spacer, no problem at all.

my truck has a 3" rake, so a 2" rear should sit level

CST also offers cast iron versions for about 100 more than these.

if your adding these to a 2.5 front level, then pick these up for the rear

[DatacomGuy]

Okay.. So with that 4" rear kit, i'd need shocks then right?

 

[sausec17]

yes. performancelifts.com has a drop down menu with about 4 different rear shock options with the correct lengths for the kit.

You know MAXTRAC....Sausec would make a great candidiate for the consumer gets them real cheap puts them on and agrees to put his truck on your web site to further show the world your wares idea......he is the kind of person that will skyrocket the word and sales...getting an excited consumer that is all over the forums is not a bad deal.

 

[DatacomGuy]

Okay guys.. Just to confirm.. This kit is front only. If i wanted to level with a 2 or 2.5" spacer, I would then a 4" kit for the rear as well; in additional to longer travel shocks for front and rear..

Just want to make sure i understand properly.

 

[Bigboytoys]

Hmm....What's the price on these? Might consider these instead of the Airbagit spindles since those are only 3"

Thanks BULLRAM I totally agree! I would put these on in a heartbeat and proudly show them off!

No need for longer shocks up front, just longer shocks for the rear

4.5" spindle (and brake lines) + 2.5" level = 7" FRONT
4" rear + longer shocks= 4" REAR

DONE

I posted the eBay link on page 1, but they are $539.95 shipped (including the DOT extended brake lines)

If I'm not mistaken, both CST and Maxtrac suggest "stock shocks" for their respective spindles.
Does anyone know why?
Would you be ok if you had Billsteins with these spindles?

 

[sausec17]

stock shocks as in "stock length". any other "brand" would be ok.

if you are referring to the bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks then no, these spindles are only compatible with 2wd trucks

 

[Informal]

So 5100's don't work on 2WD?
