Maxtrac vs. Doetsch lift spindles
I'm trying to decide on which is the best lift spindles to buy. Maxtrac claims their lift spindles are just a hair under 4 inches but nobody else on this forum seems to have experience with their products really. does anyone have pictures of their ranger with the 4 inch spindles? would these spindles require longer shocks or any modifications?

Spindles won't need longer shocks or anything. They will both give you right around the same lift. Doetsch is more popular I think with the rangers but I've heard good things about maxtrac from some Tacoma and Titan guys. They did a review on them in a Titan magazine, not to say that means anything for the ranger parts but still just saying. I personally am going with maxtrac because my local big-o can get them for me quickly because maxtrac is based right near me.

Where in CA are you located? You don't need any longer shocks for these, but going with a better shock will help the ride quality tremendously.
We carry the MaxTrac spindle and have installed them before. I have fabtech spindles on my truck and the MaxTrac spindles are top notch.
