i have a 2.5" leveling kit on my truck at the moment.
Im going to get the maxtrac 4" spindles, the c-30 leaf springs, and bilstien 5100.

My question is, is all of that going to give me a final product of an even lift?
I want it to be even, and i would like to know what to get for that to be possible

and if im missing anything please fill it in..

Are you 2wd or 4wd. It states that the c-30's will give 3.5" on 4wd's and 2.5" on 2wd. Are you keeping the 2.5" spacer and what setting are you planning on going with the 5100's.

I think just the spindle and the bilsteins on the bottom setting might keep you level with the c-30s

2wd, spindle lifts won't work with 4wd from what I've read

Yup my bad, had a blonde moment, was thinking about that c-30's acheiving different heights with 2wd and 4wd..

Are you using 5100's in the front and rear?

If you get the fronts, what setting were you wanting to run them on?

Are you planning on running the 2.5" leveling and the 5100's along with the spindles?

If my calculations are correct the spindles and billy's on the lowest setting combined with the deavers will give you about .5" rake in the front. If you set the billys to the middle perch it will put you at about an 1" higher in the front.

if I get 5125's for the rear will that make any difference?

Not in height, but you could just add a 1" block combined with the deavers and use rear shocks approved for the 3.5" of lift. This should get you level with the spindles and billys on the middle setting. Just to warn you if your going to lift that high in the rear you may need a cbdb(carrier bearing drop bracket)

I have a block In the back, I'm not sure what height it is, but what is a Cbdb specifically?

but what is a Cbdb specifically?
Center bearing support drop bracket....Your driveshaft has a support bearing mounted to a cross member and the drop bracket does what it sounds like, it lowers the support to reduce driveline vibration....

from what I have read without it you will get vibrations in your drive train from the angle the lift creates, but I am not positive. Hopefully someone else will chime in and let you know if you will definitely need it or not. This is a direct quote off prg's site

"If you have a 2wd Titan and want more than 2" of rear lift, a carrier bearing drop bracket is required. "

The CBDB will only be needed if you have 3" or higher in the rear. Why not ditch the 2.5" spacer up front and then up will be level. Also if you don't have aftermarket UCAs you might get some coil bucket contact, even with the bilsteins on bottom setting.

Well for the front 5100s for sure and as for the rear I would go with 5125's so you can get the proper shock for the amount of lift you are going with. The 5100 rear shocks are only approved for up to 1" of lift. I have no experience with the deavers but I have never read about any complaints.

The deavers are awesome man. You should decently pick up a set
 
#21 ·
so what size of 5125 do I get? sorry I'm just trying to make sure everything is perfect

That depends on the amount of rear lift you have. PRG sells the 5125s and if you let him know how much rear height you have he will provide you with the right shock
