2014+ Lowering / Drop Kits

[Nasty]

Yeah not always, but it was safer this way.

 

But mine did end up with the same length of reveal on the slip yoke, so it worked out ok. When I pull it to balance it, I'll likely remove an inch and have the perches in the flip kit drilled to re-center it.

 

That's if I keep the truck. I'm vastly unimpressed with the stuff that gm does these days. I can fix it all with enough $ thrown at it, but damn. GM does not use their head for shit.

I love my truck. I wouldn't change a thing besides the uca mounts

And maxtrac, belltech and mcg all move the axle.back. they are all pretty much the same. I just prefer mcg products

Do I have this right flip kit only is 7", flip kit and hanger (stock shackle) 5/6", flip kit hanger and drop shackle 3/4"?

I'm thinking I want to be around 4", possibly 5.

Love my truck too, are the uca's a common problem on these? I just had one replaced on mine under warranty a couple days before putting in the drop shocks haha

For the flip kit question yes.

 

As for the other part. It's not a problem into you go past 4 inches of drop or so. Because the wheel doesn't center in the wheel well and it looks restarted. The only way to fix it somewhat is the mmw arms which are 1k

Is there any 2/4 kits for a 4wd? I've looked but everything seems to be for 2wd only.. 14 sierra with cast steel front suspension

You just need lowering struts and a flip kit

[04GMshorty]

Doesn't the flip kit net you closer to 7"?

Yes but you'll need a lift hanger and a shackle. And I think my buddy is selling flip with those partd new for a good priceif you'd like me to ask

Oh ok, that requires you to cut the stock hanger off correct?

The rivets need to come out and the new ones bolt in place.

That buddy would be me...$190 shipped for a new belltech 6525 kit and 6700 shackles. can get 4-6" drop depending on shackle/hanger settings.

[04GMshorty]

Ok.. I'll have to think about it. Might be a bit lower then I want to go.. What about lowering struts? Best place to get those?

It's adjustable. From 4 to 6. You want 4. It can be set at 4

 

I have mcg struts. Straight from mcg

[04GMshorty]

Yea that's true.. Didn't realize how much work it was for that kit, not bad though... And i guess the shackles just allow you to go even lower?

The shackles raise it to 4 or 5 because of the lift hanger which flips the shackle

4" is nothing on a k2. I used my regular cab with a 4/7 drop to tow the wife's chevelle once and it was fine. You wanting a 4? You'll be just fine. These trucks are high as hell stock anyway
