Red03SillSS Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Someone from ls1truck has a 2/4 drop kit for his Z71 that he never put on. He said to comes with shackles hangers, and torsion keys. Will that work for out trucks? Or is it not a safe way to go. He wants $150 for the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) The keys aren't the issue - bigger question is how the 4" drop in the rear is achieved??? is it just shackles, or shackles + hangers??? also, I think 4" in the rear might be too much for a 2" drop, the rear might look lower than the front.

rivierakid55 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 you could go belltech 3 or 4 inch drops and use a 1 inch drop shackle out back. spindles seem to be the better way to go in the front for most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear is shackles and hangers. How do the torsion keys work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 The rear is shackles and hangers. How do the torsion keys work? they replace the stock keys and lower the ride height up front by changing the geometry of the torsion bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red03SillSS Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 So the ride quality woud be ok? The hangers will lower the back 2 more. I already have the shakcles in the back so that would be 4 total and the keys would lower the front 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful, I have hangers & shackles in the rear of my truck and if thoroughly jacked-up the pinion/driveline angles. Mine's the McGaughy's kit.
