i have 24 inch rims on 305 35 24 tires looking to lower truck with mcgaughys  delux drop kit w/ shocks #34170/34270.

wondering if i will rub up front at full lock

any advice would help

It will rub everywhere      anything lower than like a 2/5 I bet will rub.  That's bigger than an oem size tire

I'm currently at 4/9 running a 295/35/24 on my 2015 dbl cab Silverado. Using djm drop arms in the front and a flip kit, 2" shackles, and under bed notch in the rear. To go from 7" to 9" the bed had to be tubbed. The front I simply made a few relief cuts with a metabo and used a rubber hammer to round out the upper inner fender.

Has anyone went over 9" static drop in the rear on a dbl cab ??? Having issues with crossmembers and really wanting to go to 11" ..... 

I'm at 10" in rear static.  What crossmember issues?

True.  Definitely have to go to 2 piece conversion.

K2 shafts suck ass anyway so at that point you just have better ones made

I run a 2 piece conversion from Performance Driveline.  Great kit and better quality than OEM

I've seen that kit.  Looks good and a great price.  Luckily I have a regular cab.  I don't have to worry about that

So mcgaughys new kit for the 4x4 trucks comes with 4" drop springs instead of the flip kit. I'm sure these springs probably ride great. My question is would those springs or a flip kit on the stock springs be better for performance? My plan is to add turbos and make a little rocket truck out of it.

So, slight correction, it's springs and shackles in the rear.

Also, I plan on dropping the truck 3/5-6 depending on how it sits. I'm kind of leaning towards the flip kit since it retains the oem spring pack. Which in my understanding should be stronger, since there's a bit more arch along with the extra overload leaf. But I think the traditional attachment seems stronger. Maybe I'm just way over thinking this.
