More confused now! I want to drop my 2018 4WD RCSB Z71 Silverado 3" in the front. Just when I thought I had my answer with the combination of Belltech 2514   2" drop spindles combined with Belltech 25004 struts set at 1" drop, I come across the Belltech 15002 coilovers which it indicates are not only compatible with 4WD's (as there webpage does not with the spindle/strut combo) but are adjustable from a 1 to 3" drop? Why wouldn't I just go with the coilovers and set to 3" drop?  Will these move the wheel off center more than the other option???? There must be an advantage to the spindle /strut for 3" front drop? Or is there? If you went with what Belltech's webpage suggests for what I want it looks to me like the coilover is their recommendation?  

Use spindles and the coilovers.  The geometry of the arms on these trucks suck     spindles will help it

Sorry for my ignorance! Coilovers and struts are two different things I understand. Would you use the spindles with the coilovers or with just the struts? and why? 

 

Thanks

If you have the extra money id get the coilovers.  But when lowering nnbs or k2 trucks. Always atleast use a spindle.  Im swapping my struts out for twisted metal workz coilover setup

I like it but 1 thing bugs me. The front is higher than the rear

Correct by about a half inch to an inch thinking about adding rear helper bags the suspension is real touchy with the magnaride system

You could adjust thr shackle as well if im not mistaken

I thought about raising the rear just a tad to level out still on the fence.

Nasty, 

 

Im also interested in why you would choose the coils over the struts in this situation. This is the exact decision I am about to make. Would the coils / spindles make a better ride or are their other gains to solving this vs using struts / spindles.

 

thanx,
