2014+ Lowering / Drop Kits

[Nasty]

I'm not sure there is a spindle yet for.your application but without knowing that. I'd start out a 2/4. 2" strut and flip kit with lift hanger

[Static]

so mcghaughy's struts and a belltech flip kit? Is that what I need?

[Nasty]

I'd get either full mcg or full belltech. Both are the same. Re mcg struts do ride a hair softer but they're both the same

[Static]

so can I not get the 3" with just the struts? It says they do 1-3". Then I can just drop the back 5 and I would have my 3/5 drop.

Get this kit here and set the front at 3" so you don't mess up your 4wd. It's a 2" drop spindle and set the struts at 1".

That's a 2wd kit he has a 4wd

[Static]

This is where I get confused. They make drop spindles for 4wd but not with stamped UCA. What if I went with tubular UCA's? I dont mind spending the money but I am not quite sure what I need to spend the money on just yet. I know I what to have the proper suspension geometry when I finish and dont want to have problems I could have avoided if I would have installed the right stuff.

This kit will work

Send me a DM if you have any questions. I'm 4/7 on a 4x4

This would still only net me 2" up front. I can buy the struts and set them at the highest setting with this kit and net 3" of drop in the front correct?

[Nasty]

Yes but you may need the camber bushings

[Static]

so if I buy aftermarket UCA's can I use the drop spindles so I can fix the camber that way?

[Nasty]

Not sure if they'll fit. But I know Michigan .metal works makes camber correction upper arms they're like 3 or 400.

Just bought a 2017 Silverado double cab 2wd and plan on lowering it on stock 20" wheels and tires.

I have Mcgaughys 34270 adjustable kit on order and have a couple questions.

 

1- How low can I go on stock 275/55-20's? I'm thinking 3-5?

2- Would you use the McGaughy shocks that come with the kit or something else?

3- What is the easiest tool to cut off the bump stop bracket from the frame?

[Nasty]

I had mine at 3/6 with 275 55 20
