Go with Mcgaughys kits they use the same parts in a lot of their kits that are used by GM; example their leaf springs for the 2014+ lowering kits the leafs are from same company that makes GM’s they just have less of an arch so u could swap ur leafs for Mcgaughys and have same ride quality! I actually used to co-own a performance shop and we rep’d Beltech at the time. I swapped to Mcgaughys due to ride quality for my personal vehicles. This 2014 4wd All-Terrain makes the 13th lowered vehicle Ive owned and 5th 4wd lowered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe similar but my 4wd All-terrain is lowered as u pointed out, with a 3/5 drop. But I still have the rear OEM spacer in, altho I was going to remove it, the drive-shaft would have needed to be shortened IMO if I pulled it out. I was afraid of the drive-shaft punching the transmission from suspension travel downward. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With Aluminum control arms you can lower front with Spring relocators or the McGauphy's height adjustable strut

Ive installed 100s of lowering kits- on GM McGaughys is in and out the best. Others arent always up to snuff. But ALL kits up or down need some common sense occasionally! For the record Ive had 2 lowered '14s a 2wd and a 4wd- used the big $$$ adjustable kit on 2wd and the coil relocaters and leaf springs w/hangers on 4wd. (I didnt use one of their pre-packaged kits/ordered parts separately) Remember if ur drive axle is at too flat a plane u'll have vibrations so adjust with pinion angle shims. And make sure u use them correctly- had a guy screaming the kit sucked blah blah- he had his shims backwards so the angle was worse!

Did you remove the Color Matched A/T bumpers, if so this will be the 1st All Terrain Ive personally seen without painted frt/rear bumpers.

I had to flatten it totally out on all 3 2014 trucks Ive lowered.. Mine was worse then the other two, I ended up cutting mine off, because even flattened the damn top bolt wouldn't come out.

That was the good thing about previous gen trucks, 2 piece drive shafts... Then the '14's have very little play on top of one piece, so it's very easy to get it in a bind.

Ok here's my 1st one; 2wd W/24s. Sold And then the replacement 4wd AT. It will be lowered 2/4 and if I can ever find white Handles they'll be swapped!

Wow, I guess GM doesn't hold conformity to close to heart. I stand corrected. Every one that has came thru my shop has had aluminum lowers... I currently own a '12 & a '13 and 2nd '14 all with aluminum lowers. Had '2 '05's, '07 and they had aluminum lowers. GM just doesn't make sense, no wonder they had cash flow issues. Can you take a pic- haven't seen cast iron control arms.

I wouldnt be pressing the cam bushings in or out of the CA, swapping the spindles, just the ball joint mount to the spindle (upper and lower), the balljoint would mount the same way to the spindle, with either CA. I was told its the force exorted on the Upper is higher then the aluminum control arm is able to except safely. So its a lawsuit avoidance stance, Mcgaughy even saidthey'll fit perfectly with no issue, we just feel it isnt safe in the long run.

Anyone who has 4wd with Steel Upper control arms, and has removed them for a lift kit replacement or if you Would just like to have Aluminum Upper control arms, Ill trade with you! I need a set of steel uppers to use With Drop spindles, so let me know if u'd like to swap! Btw, we all should have aluminum lower control arms, i think since '05 GM has used the lower Alum CA, in 07 in was on all 1500 chassis (truck/suv 2wd/4wd). Iirc

Price is $200 + $149.00 the tips = $349.00 higher thru GM then thru Borla Direct- who sells at MSRP.
