Maxtrac Spindle Lift

[AyAnthony702]

Do I need new wheel bearings if I install maxtrac spindles? Or can I just buy regular ranger ones and press them in?

The regular bearings are fine. When I installed the spindles I took the bearings down to O'Reillys and they had the same size, packed them and put them back.

I currently have Chassis Tech lift spindles on my 2003 Edge 2WD with 31x10.5x15 tires and the turning radius is hideous. The truck is very difficult to maneuver in parking lots making the turns. Thought about notching the control arms and then reinforcing the inside to increase the clearance, but I was a little scared about it.

I've heard of the many issues people have with the Edge/Trailhead trucks using lift spindles of either radius or brake caliper interference issues. Found Maxtrac 4" spindles and wondered what your thoughts are on the pair you have?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

So I have these don't get them
Spindles will grind your coilbucket when extending

Also this is pulling everything and my entire front ends joints need to be replaced

Alright here's what you need to know . don't buy there kits . I got the 99 lift kit with spindles coils shocks and shackles . rear has no problem. the spindles hit my coilbucket and it's destroyed my front end and I am needing to replace my uca tie rod ends and ball joints from the contact . from what I'm told the rangers suspention is limited by the shock leingth and the max Trac shock is to long therefore the spindle when at full droop smashes the coil bucket

The coils will only lift the set point of your front end and not give any clearance upgrade I am going to switch to bilstine shocks on my front end (they are an inch shorter) and see if I get the bumping if I do I will have to get limiting straps

Update to this the company is basicly telling me to go **** myself so here's my experience
