What is the primary benefit of using spindles for a lift kit?

Spindle lift kits, like this Maxtrac setup, achieve the lift by replacing the factory steering knuckles with taller ones. This method generally helps to maintain the vehicle's original suspension geometry and alignment angles better than some other lift types.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, the kit is designed to be comprehensive. It includes the front spindles, front and rear coil springs, rear blocks and U-bolts, and front and rear Maxtrac shocks, along with all the necessary hardware for installation.

What is the intended tire clearance improvement with this kit?

While specific tire sizes are not listed, a 5.5-inch front and 3-inch rear lift is typically intended to allow for significantly larger tires, improving ground clearance and off-road capability for your Ford F-150.
