Seeing those babies make me consider going the other direction for summer. I wonder how feasible that would be running lowered in the summer and leveled in the winter?

lol...Trying to get those damn CalTracs not to rattle I've gotten really good at taking the rear suspension apart. I think I'm throwing in the towel on them. Should have listened to Unbroken and went with Stifflers.

If MaxTrac maked lower spindles for 4X4s I'd be sold. I'm not super fond of BelTech struts. I guess a lot of folks run them with no issues.

Yeah, ol @UNBROKEN knows a thing or 3. lol. As far as I know the IWE will fit the opening, just doesnt have a hole (needs to be tapped as well) for it to be secured to BUT nothing even an average machinist couldnt make short work of.....you know I have a set of Maxtrac drop spindles that will be going up for sale....just saying. lol

Shouldn't be hard to do. Lol. You just gotta swap the spindles and the struts/shocks.
