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

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,

krunch

    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
    • I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
    • I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
