So after researching, I like my legs a lot and im unwilling to cut my crash bars. so probably a maxtrac 4.5 will fit some x12s on 33s.

With just the spindles it will ride like stock. You can always upgrade the shocks to bilstein, fox, icon etc.. my main concern was how much the front wheels would stick out and I really can't tell they are 1/2" wider up front.

I do suggest upgrading the rear shocks.. it got rid of that floaty feeling in the rear.

If i were to be running aftermarket wheels i would have gone this route as well.
Limited 22's and 305/45 will fit just fine.

Worth noting, a member here ran the spindle and coilover lift upgrade and ran into alignment issues. Something to keep in mind if to go that route.

I have the same maxtrac spindle with the Eibach adjustable struts. I haven't had any alignment issues yet. Now if you try and stretch past 7" of total lift you might run into issues getting the alignment dialed in or binding between the coils and the upper control arms.
