Lift Spindle

[bhest]

I am preparing to do a MaxTrac Spindle Lift to my 2WD. Along with the spindles I'm going to do 5100's all the way around and 2 Inch All Pro springs in the back. With 285/70/17 KO2's.

Ive searched and searched and found a few different answers can anyone tell me what the exact backspacing on a 03 stock 17 inch Limited wheel?

If what I am thinking is correct my backspacing now is 5.43 (according to an online backspacing calculator) so a 1 inch spacer in the front will bring me to around 4.5 inches which is under the required 4.75 inches to run the lift spindles.

Now because of the spindles' .75 inches of added width I would need a 1.75 inch wheel spacer in the back to make everything even.

Just wanting some feedback to make sure this sounds correct! There just isn't that much info on lift spindles!

[MENTION=132817]bhest[/MENTION] You are correct. I am running 1.25" spacers thus to be even I would need 2" spacers in the rear. I am running stock 17" Sport rims on mine. I currently have FJ w/ 1.5" spacer in the rear and need more and am contemplating going with AllPro 3.5" springs in the rear.

I thought about the 3.5 as well. I just couldn't make my mind up as to which rear shock to go with if i went that direction.

AllPro has some packages, I think I am going with 3.5" coils with Fox 2.0 non-resi and SS brake lines for $505. They have a package with Walker Evans shocks for a bit cheaper, but I haven't found many good reviews for these. This setup (with the Fox's) I want isn't a package deal so at first I was thinking going coils only and try them out with my 5100's but I know the 5100's will be to short so I think I am just going to order everything together to save on separate shipping.
