2014+ Lowering / Drop Kits

[lovelessjl]

Drop springs? Where from and what was the cost?

Thanks guys, I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

I got them from suspensionsuperstore.com they're part number MXT-251520-8 they show as 2" drop coils, but that's for crew cab trucks and on a regular cab will be a 1" drop. I paid about 120ish for the pair. I don't remember exactly. I try to forget the cost as soon as possible... Hurts less that way lol.

Is anyone using the Inez Hotrod and Customs front control arms?  They tell me that the upper control arm corrects caster and keeps the wheel centered in the wheel house.

OK, so when I first put my truck back on the ground, the springs and spindles totalled 3". But I just remeasured and the front has settled to 4". I'm not sure if I wanna raise the front back up 1" or lower the rear another 1". I guess I'll have to crawl underneath and see what my cv angles look like.

I stated at a 3/6. Now I'm at a 4/7.  Now I want 4.5/8

Yeah, lowering the rear another inch is definitely the easier way to go. Looks better too, I just wanna make sure I'm not gonna destroy the cva axles when I install the turbos.

I bought the kit last August but have not yet had a chance to take it in to get it installed.  Too chicken to put it on myself.  I am looking forward to it though.  Search on inez in this thread and you will find at least one member put the kit on and he raved about.  Posted pictures too.

There's a pretty well known turbo 14 Sierra SLT out there running low 11's on a 6/9 drop. I think you gonna be fine.

I knew there were several 2wd turbo trucks out there, I hadn't seen any lowered 4wd trucks. This is good to know, lower it is!

I'm sitting 4.5/6.5 on a 4wd and I've got the shackles to take it down to 8" once the new wheels show up on Tuesday. Gonna wait to see how that looks before I decide if I want to remove spacers on the struts to bring it down to 5" up front. That's a lot of extra work for half an inch, and sacrifices some ride quality, but if it needs to happen then I'm all about it.
