Has anyone purchased or install the Maxtrac Suspension ? I found a guy on IG stating he went with the Maxtrac suspension with the Belltech struts in the front and drives awesome. I would like to purchase another brand lowering kit, but i have been reading and hearing that the Belltech suspension once installed 3/5+, you will have to install rear diff shims ? Has anyone come across with this issue and have vibrations ?

Thanks

I'm running maxtrac spindles and belltac struts with stock setting so I only have 2" drop but I can go more , I have maxtrac flip 4" with there frt. leaf spring raise mount no shims but I'm in a rcsb, can't say I feel any vibes.

I have lowered 3 of these trucks (1 extended cab 2 crew cabs) & have not had an rear end vibrations & did not install any aftermarket shims beyond the flip kit angle. Each truck had different motors too.
I'm sure Belltech could help out with a recommended shim if you are having an issue.

I have had 3 maxtrac lifts and love them. Great company.

Ordered DJM rear shackles, Bilstein RWD shocks all around, and am planning to get wedges and trans shim just in case. DJM said no shims needed, but I would rather have the wedges on hand so when I measure angles, I can install if needed. Still doesn’t give an easy feeling when some say you don’t need, but the OEM supplier says you do, but drops the rear less.

Disregard... managed to post to the wrong conversation somehow.
