Lowering

[loungebird]

I have a '02 5.3 Silverado. I am going to lower the front using the Belltech 2" drop spindles. I can easily lower the rear 2" or 4" using the hangers, but I want to drop it 3" so the back is just slightly higher.

 

Has anyone done this suspension mod?

if you have shackles you could just set it on 1" instead of 2", and use the hangars that should give you 3", but I would just go ahead and do the 4" in the rear to level out the truck, but it's your truck and not mine

I was going to go for the 4-2 drop, but don't want it to be totally level.

It won't be. If you haven't already bought the spindles, don't. They ruin your turning radius. Get some DJM LCA's.

i used beltech 1in to 4in shackles in rear---put mine in 4in and actually only got 3 in out of it when done---you might can tell in my pics--just slightly higer in rear--rides like a dream

I was under the impression the LCA would make the ride worse? I really want to drop mine 2 in the front and 4 in the rear for a slightly lower, but level look. Thanks, Nick

I thought that the spindles were the best option because the ride is the same. I never heard about steering radius being affected

Haven't heard anyone complain about LCA's riding harsh, I know springs will roughen it up a little, I have Hotchkis in mine.

Slash your tires, that should drop it a few inches

plasma torch will cut the suspension down in a minute
