And it doesn't even squat when hauling that entire cooling tower!

I've never even looked at it like that. Ha Ha.

Anyone lower then 2/5 on stock size tires without getting a bunch of rubbing?

Im considering adding spindles and going to 3/6 or 4/6 but im running 285/45/22 on 22x9.5 +24mm wheels, and i would rather stay at my current drop then go to a smaller tire.

My current drop is 2/5 (Belltech shocks/flip kit) right now and have no rubbing, but its definitely close to the fender liner on the front..

also anyone having issues with 4x4 on a 4/6 drop, that needs to work with our winters here! haha

I'm at 4/6 with 305/40/22s and I do rub a bit, but it doesn't rub so bad that it bothers me, just light contact on the liner. Also my 4x4 works just fine.

same here. except I'm on 285/45R22s

The only time I get slight rubbing is hard left backing out of my driveway, which goes up a very slight hill on the way out.

Only left its becsuse you have the Chevy lean. Lift the drivers side half inch to even it out

my truck does not lean any more. I have a 10mm ring on the left side strut and no rings on the right side and it's exactly level on both sides. I've just never taken a right out of my driveway with it yet

Good to hear thanks guys, might have to get a set of spindles and get her sitting a little lower! I know they say they clear 17’s but anyone put some 17’s on after spindles to confirm? My winter wheels/tires are 17’s.

Not sure on your 4X but my Belltech spindles worked with my stock 17's. they supply a thinner nut for the lower ball joint stud that needs to be trimmed.

16.5 and up have the add arms. They are thicker.

It all depends what arms you have

Cast aluminum/stamped steel

my truck came with aluminum but I actually had one replaced on warranty due to a clunk in the front end and they replace it with a stamped steel one so apparently they are interchangeable.

Anyway I would be looking at Belltech 2514’s.

That thin ball joint but is almost scary small!

You can fit a 17 with a small spacer i dont think you can fit one directly on though
