McGauyhs Loweing Kit FYI WARNING

[Slapps74]

So my truck has been lowered with the  McGaughy's kit 34270 for over 25k miles and have had no problems. I made the switch from 22" MRR T228's to 17" Weld S77"s.  IF you have the McGaughy's spindles you will not clear 17"wheels. I just had to spend $500 on the JDM front kit so I can go back to stock spindles to clear my new wheels. The rear will work fine fronts hit the spindle where the tie rod end attaches.

 

Just an FYI incase your thinking you might go drag pack or even try to run a 17 at some point.

Weird, Belltech systems can run a 17'' wheel by modifying the lower ball joint. I know its a little sketchy, but people do it all the time.

Wonder why McGraughys set-up is different.

Yeah I remember reading that in the instruction and online.

Edit.  Ihave the cast arms.  Mcg says minimum 18" for the 16.5 and up trucks
