  2. Lowering An 04 Ls 2/6?

    in Suspension & Brakes

    Posted

    anyone know where i can get some stock spindles/hangars?

     

    also im looking at the djm 6'' flip kit with the c-notch and was wondering if i put on stock shackles and put my leafs in the top hole of my hangars to make a 7'' drop do you think that would fit and still have travel? id be putting on 285/35/22 or 295/35/22 tires

     

    You will be fine with travel at 7" with a bolt-in notch, but do the 7" with flip kit and drop shackles. Use the stock hangers to avoid problems with your pinion angle.

     

    Also, the DJM notch is the worst design compared to Belltech and McGaughy's. The notch is just a cover plate with reinforcement around the notch cutout, while the McG notch wraps around the bottom of the frame, and the Belltech notch completely boxes the frame.

     

    You will also need to make sure the offset on your rims is high enough or they will rub the fender lip.

  10. Vette Servo Vs Billet Servo, 4th Billet Servo

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    As far as the 1-2 servo goes, I have been told that the billet servo is overkill for a stock 4l60e. Shifts too harsh and will start breaking stuff, etc. I have been told the vette servo will suffice.

     

    I have also been told that the 4th billet servo is a waste of money for my stock tranny, and that I won't be able to feel it.

     

    I do plan on installing both servos and a shift kit, and replacing the plastic 1-2 and fwd accumulator pistons with aluminum ones. I'm just not sure on which servos yet, and I don't want to rebuild my transmission for a good while.

     

    Would you guys care to provide some insight?

  11. Drop Spindle And Wheels

    do you know what size it is?

    bc i dont remember if we put a new nut or just kept the stock one.

     

     

    Or you could just grind the nut down after cutting off the excess balljoint. Also if you have the stock nut, you can cut off the washer attached to the nut, and reinstall it (backwards if needed).

    That kit will work perfectly fine. I would actually prefer Mcg over Belltech spindles IMO. My turning radius decreased noticabley with Mcgaughy's Spindles though, and I use Doetsch Tech shocks out back. They have a reputation for being stiff.

    I would go with Mcgaughy's spindles and springs, unless you don't have a coil suspension, and McG/Belltech / DJM Flip kit in the rear with a 1 inch shackle. And you might be able to get away with the same shocks in front and get a decent ride, but you'll def. need new shocks for the rear.

  16. Install Drop Spinldes

    If you are talking about the install thread on here with pictures and everything, it's basically the same thing, but there is no axle up front, so no axle nut to remove, and you don't have to worry about trimming the upper ball joint to clear the rubber boot on the axle (because their isn't one).

     

    We could be more helpful if we knew exactly what you are having problems with.

    You can run 22s on a 265-35 tire without rubbing if you can get a high offset. I think the SS replicas can be had in a +30 offset, and you'll be fine with that. You might rub on bumps from your driveshaft that low though, because its a 1-piece. DJM is a good kit, but I went with 2" springs and Mcgaughys spindles instead of control arms.
