Word of caution, you'll have to cut the lower balljoint stud to run 20s, otherwise you'll have to go with 22s or larger with the mcgaughys spindles

I have a 2014 with McG spindles and didnt have to modify anything to run my factory 20's.  When I installed them I believe they said anything lower than 17's would require you to cut the balljoint stud.  I definitely had enough room to go down to a 17".

I finished up the front of my drop today it’s about a half inch lower in the front and back on the passenger side. If I add a ring to the passenger front side will it raise the back a little also?

Thats very strange. Usually tbese trucks lean half inch to the drivers side.  It will lower the oppsite side rear a little. Teeter totter effect

I might have to switch out my rear shocks also they are pretty damn stiff. They are they Belltech SP shocks

Those are the ones you want for a 4 door

 

But id look into some vikings with shock extenders. Only thing is you have to do a little grinding on thr extender to clear the shock body

That’s what I’m thinking about doing is just not running any rings at all on one side. You haven’t had any problems with yours?

    • Uh yes, that's the name of the package. It doesn't quite bring it up to 1 ton specs unfortunately and imagine they have to do that for a numbers reason rather than a physical one.    Am I correct though that the Max Trailer Package and therefore the 12" rear is only available on the Duramax and not on any of the L8T 3/4 ton trucks ( and that the same 11.5 rear axle center section is used on the 3/4, 1 ton SRW and even 1 ton dually gas version ) ?   I'd also be curious to know if the wheel bearings are the same on a SRW configuration between an 11.5 vs the 12" diff as I assume parts would show that up but may not explain what the difference is if indeed there was a physical difference. 
    • Why is gas up? Same reason the deficit is now $40 Trillion.
    • Mobil up another dime this am , $3.89, others will probably go up later. Any ideas on the reason for the increase other than greed? I've been working 14 hour days and haven't caught the news in a few days.
    • AMSOIL SS is about prevention and it is very good at it's job. I've never seen it claim to be a cleaner however like Valvoline R&P. Almost any oil that has some Ester or Alkylated Naphthalene in sufficient quantity will do a good job at keeping the rings functional.     I see the market splint among these types in two groups; those that use the same tech in every weight grade and those that reserve the tech for the EPA (EPA) friendly grades. Mobil 1 for example keeps the Advanced Clean chemistry out of the SAE 40 and up weights. Other like HPL (top shelf group and No-VII), Red Line HP, TORCO, MPT30K use the tech in all grades. Just not something the Wally World oils are into.
