Updated. Moved the rear kit to the 6" setting. We are now 3/6 drop.

 

Kit is a mix of parts

DJM front lower control arm

Belltech strut front set to 1" drop

Rear Maxtrac flip kit set at 6" setting

Rear Belltech shocks

Hey guys, I have a 2016 High Country 4x4. installed a INEZ hotrods control arm drop and flip kit 4" up front and 6" rear. I dont like how i lost some steering radius it is driving me nuts and I want to change it for a kit with no loss to steering radius, I never would have ordered it if I knew this. Anyone installed a McGaughy's Suspension drop 3/5 are there issues with steering radius when installed?

HaHa yah well up in Canada we put the Chrome away for summer. 450 hp in 4x4 goes pretty good in any conditions with those tires on.

I vote second best, I'm biased to this one haha!9ce5d7146e1307ff4f7e34bdceb50532.jpg

This truck is the perfect look because the wheels are smaller and race style.  Please share what size rims those are and tires  and offsets 

Thank You

Both the McG or Belltech spindles will improve the steering radius over the IHC arm set up - I would have to imagine you rub a lot on the back side of the fender liner with that tire set up too which won't help either.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
