Let me know what you think when you get them. I'd like to know if they're any longer and/or skinner than the Belltech ones.

They are longer than thr belltech ones by about 1/2" or so

Tons of info in this thread - I've read through most of it, but didn't find the answer, so I thought I'd ask before I pull the trigger.

I have an '18 Denali with factory 22's - I'm looking to lower it. Probably going with the MCG kit over the Bell which seems to get mixed reviews. The only kit I see for 4wd is 34310 - Do I need anything extra for the Magna-ride stuff?

Anything else I should add while I'm doing it?

TIA

Sweet, I ordered one for my brother's 16 RCSB Sierra that we'll be lowering this month if the weather is good

I was going to do the same thing but I just can't bring myself to cut of the OE hanger off the frame - I'd rather run the short shackle and deal with the firmer ride.

You don't cut it off. You grind thr rivets out. They are easily re installed using bolts

When I have a day off work I need to scour this thread for photos of 2/4 drops. That is my next big project. Probably do wheels at the same time.

Here's a pic of my my previous truck that was on a 2/4 drop with 22" wheels

Looks great! I think I'm going to stick with 20s and use summer tires, then switch back to the oem wheels for winter. Which kit did you use? I'm leaning towards belltech.

lovelessjl · March 12, 2019

Thanks, I used mcgaughys spindles up front, and flip kit in the rear. I forget the number but it came as a package from mcgaughys.

I’m in a similar boat.

my Wheels and Tires (22s) are currently in transit. In the next couple of months I hope to order spindles for the front, and 2” lowering shackles and remove the rubber block between the leafs and the the axel. Should be about 2/3.5ish. Based on the truck above, should be exactly where I want to start. Should maintain a little rake when empty and level out when I have my bike in the back ?

will I need new, shorter bolts in the rear and what about shock extenders? Anything else I am forgetting?

I too have 18 Denali crewcab with the standard bed with a 2 inch MCG spindle drop on the front and a 5 inch max track flip kit in the rear with a plate provided along with new rods for the magnaride truck rides great

Thanks TWill - Love the way your truck looks! Looks like I can't buy anything anyway - Nothing for sale on McGaughys site - and no one else seems to have any stock until next month... wonder what's up with that
