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

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

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
