    I've been reading for a while and browsing around and researching and I have kind of narrowed down "WHAT" I think I want for a lift.

    Truck is a 16 CM 2wd SR5. Mostly Street Queen. However there will be times that a trip out into the middle of the dunes or across the socal desert will be needed so not full mall crawler status.

    Initially my intentions were:
    Maxtrac 6" kit. Ditch the strut spacers for ToyTec's coilover/5100 setup.
    Add some UCA's (still in research mode) Cost was adding up piecing kits together

    For the rear. I was thinking shackles and the toytec add a leaf set. Should yield me about where I would need to be.

    Then I found that maxtrac basically builds the kit I want minus the UCA and Rear end stuff.
    They have a 6.5" kit w/ Fox CoilOvers loaded ready to go. So instead of piecing 3 kits together to make what I want. I would only need to add UCA's and swap out the blocks for the rear end stuff I want or just run the blocks for now.

    My biggest concern is with wheel/tire fitment. I have a buddy with a 16 DC 2wd SR5 running the 3.5" maxtrac w/ 5100's and lets just say the body saw had to come out to get his 35's to play nice. I was thinking the SPC Control arm just to have the adjustability to get the wheel centered back in the wheel well to make running those slightly larger than normal backspaced wheels a bit easier.

    Guess my question would be has anyone had any issues or found a need for the UCA's to bring the wheel back to center to keep the rubbing to a minimum? And which UCA's did you use if you chose a spindle and extended coil-over setup.

    Thx in advance.

    Don’t by junk, get rcd (race car dynamics ) 6” lift if they have it for you truck and either icon CoilOvers or fox or king, coilovers. You won’t regret it. I have rcd on my 2002 tundra
