allballz57 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I am seriously thinking about doing a 2/2 drop when I put my new 22's on,wasn't going too until I saw stiff1's truck and the stance looked awesome. Now I need to know what is the best way to do a 2/2 drop. I have found numerous different kits but I don't seem to hear too many good things about the torsion keys,and wasn't sure if they made spindles for our truck or not. I just want a good ride/alignment to go along with the look. Sorry guys I guess this should have been in suspension huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Do a little searching, and you will find hours of reading material about lowering these trucks. There are even how-to's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allballz57 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I did some searching and I was still left with a few questions.The only spindles I saw were Mcgaughy's,and I was sure I had heard that guys were having issue's with their product's I have been here a long time and usually read more than I post,I just wanted a general consensus on what everyone thought was their favorite as far as ride and drivability,that way I can order the right parts the first time, and know what I'm getting myself into with each part.I could google lowering kits but thats not going to give me any personal feelings about a product.

brobradh77 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 PIMP SS uses Mcgaughy's and as far as I know he has never complained about them and his truck sits perfect. I beleive it was droppped 2/3.5 or 2/4 but it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsource Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I did a 2/2 using spindles and shackles and wasn't satisfied. So i took out the shackles and installed the 3" leaf packs. I also swapped out all shocks to the Nitro Active's from Belltech. Now the truck sits like it's supposed to, and the ride is just as good, if not better than stock. The shocks really make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRO44 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 AllBallz, I'm getting ready to do the same thing. I just want it dropped a little to make the stance alot sharper. Everything I have found says to go with the Belltech Nitro shocks for sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimp ss Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) yeah ive got mcgauhys 2/3.5 spindles shackles and hangers since i put on the new shocks and removed the bump stop brackets the truck rides awesome and does not bottom out any more.i had to use nitro active shocks in front and toxic shocks in back.the nitro active shocks were too short in the back so i had to send them back and get toxics the front ones were great so i just left them Edited March 8, 2007 by pimp ss (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
