    OK.... I NEED to chime in here........ I have been hearing all this on drive shaft spacers which are good in some cases BUT if you don't get the correct length you WILL damage the transmission. We have installed roughly 20 or 30 of these kits in all various heights for testing. We have NEVER needed a drive shaft spacer on any of them. Now one reason for this is we use offset drilled blocks for the rear therefor we do not need anything else. Also at 4" of rear lift we only had roughly 2 or 3 need carrier brg drops. I do recommend using a carrier brg drop on anything over 2" of rear height. Now your drive shaft is made to move in and out of your trans so be careful on the spacer. If you get one too long and you bottom out your suspension you will damage the trans... Also check with the leaf spring mfgr to see if they offset drill the center pin in the leaf springs... This will change where the rear axle sits and the need of a drive shaft spacer. Last thing is if you check your drive shaft to see if you need a spacer , do this with the truck on the ground. If the truck is in the air and at full droop you will get a false reading and most likely order a spacer that is too long. With that said Vibration can come from many things... Wheel spacers that are not hub centric and lug centric. Tires that are just not as round as they should be... If you feel a vibe at take off then it's most likely drive line vibration and you can fix that with a carrier brg drop. The best way is with washers. start with 3 on each side and check to see if it is gone or if it's less severe... If it's less then add 1 more and check it out... This 99% of the time happens on takeoff... if you feel vibes at freeway speeds then it's most likely TIRES or spacers..... Please remember if you need ANY HELP... Please pm me or just call... 714-630-0363 Thanks again for being the best customers in the world....


    P.S we offer a carrier brg drop that is 1/2" tall .. Seems to work just fine...

    Ok so I've decided the difference in how far my wheels stick out in front and rear is a big enough deal for me to get spacers. I called spidertrax and they don't offer a 3/4" who are you guys using for your spacers.

    TAC 1 showed a link for hub centric wheel spacers... They make spacers from 3/4" thick to 2" thick... Now I don't know anything about this company but they do look good.... Just a thought

    A good price if you just want the spindles is headstrong off road. Call them and mention tacomaworld and they may hook you up.

    Don't really have $500 to drop on new ones, that's why I was looking for a used set. May end up having to buy new if no one has any.

    Man honestly new is going to be easier to find. And worth it. Plus if it breaks and you bought from an authorized dealer maxtrac will warranty it. Not so much if you buy used from someone.

    Talked to Marie at headstrong about an hour ago and told her how many people are getting interested in buying the spindles and there is a possibility of a group buy if enough people are interested.
