SlowSierraSS Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I lowered my 4x4 sierra with lowering keys in the front, and I put the lowering shackles in the back as well as taking out the 1.5 inch spacers. It looked really nice but the only thing is that the rear axle would hit the frame over hard bumps and that was with the bump stops out. Do people just leave the bump stops in and have it ride on them or what other method do you use in the back for a nice ride? I was thinking of taking off the metal bracket that held the bump stops on the frame and fastening the bump stops to the frame itself to give more room. Would this work? Also I was wondering if putting in lowering spindles in the front instead of lowering keys would keep it the same camber or would it tweek it just like lowering the torsion keys will? What lowering setup does everyone prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 i think spindles are probably a better way up front than keys. you could take out the metal plate the bumpstops bolt too. i have as have many others. addittionaly you could cut the rear bumpstops down or order shorter ones.

SSThunder Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I removed the metal plate and mounted the bump stops to the frame. I also cut off 1 nub and it rides good. I've only got a 2" drop in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KissMySilvSS Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think most prefer a torsion front set-up over the keyed set-up for ride quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
