Spindle lift with leveler 2020 1500 Silverado LT

[Msinclair]

Looking for any advice and help please. In the past I had a 2006 Nissan Titan which which I was able to lift using a 4” lift spindle and also a 2 1/2” leveler for an overall 6 1/2” lift, my question is if I install the MaxTrac 3 1/2” lift spindle can I also use Supreme Suspendions 3.5” leveler?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am simply going for looks now.

Might be sketchy on your geometry of the components. If you're doing a spindle set for x amount of lift then throwing a level onto it.

Not sure what the cost of those would be but i know they have 6" kits for around $1600 from readylift.

The spindle lift doesn’t change geometry, so you’re left with just figuring out how much of a leveling lift you are comfortable with. Mac Trax offers a 3” on top of their 3.5” spindle. Going that big you may want to consider new upper control arms too, I’m not sure. I currently have a 2.5” level and will probably be adding the spindle lift to that for a total of 6”. Remember in your calculations the spindles make the front end sit wider, and you’ll need to watch the wheels you run, size and offset have specific requirements. You might be able to run stock wheels with spacers, or need to go aftermarket. It’s a super economical way to lift a 2wd.

Just buy the MaxTrac 6.5 lift for an extra 120 bucks. And if you buy the rough country control arms And 6” extended struts you can have an overall 9.5” lift if you don’t add the 3 inch spacer that comes with the kit. You can sell it plus ride quality will be better. Also MaxTracs Kit doesn’t increase track width. It remains the same

That sounds like a terrible plan, the 6” lift struts are designed for a kit that lowers the control arms 6”

According to Maxtracs themselves they widen the front 7/8 inch per side. I’ve had numerous conversations with them planning my lift.

Wrong, that’s why you buy the rough country control arms to correct ball joint angles and it comes out perfect, I have the exact setup on mine, and the ride quality is better than the regular MaxTrac lift setup which already includes the 3” strut spacer

It’s closer to about 3/8 an inch per side and isn’t noticeable at all Especially if you’re throwing on aftermarket wheels with a different offset anyway. I left on the stock wheels and it looks good

It says right on their website that they are designed to work with a 6” bracket Kit.

What are the details on how you set your truck up lift details, wheels, tires, pictures? Not a lot of people have used spindle lifts on the new trucks yet.

Truck is completely stock right now and I will be using stock wheels for a few weeks, I have done spindle with spacers before with no issue with geometry, I thank everybody for all the info I just wanted to do this wallet friendly. I might go with the MaxTrac 6.5 I just did not like the strut spacer look and don’t know what type of shock they use

I think the MaxTrac kit uses a 3.5” spindle lift in conjunction with a 3” strut spacer.

I'm confused, isn't the Supreme Suspension leveling kit a strut spacer?

I’m telling you off you throw out the spacer and just use the rough country 3.5” lift strut it will be better. The strut bolts onto the stock pattern and keeps you from having to use the strut spacer
