motoracer204 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 My 03 ss currently has a 2-2 drop with keys and shackles, i wanna go lower all around my goal(3-3) is to put leaf packs outback and spindles in the front but should i go ahead and go back to stock keys and install the spindles and just crank down the bars to get the stance i like or should keep the keys and just add spindles, i did some research on here and i know with this awd setup there are some things to be aware of, i don't wanna kill my truck or anything but just want to get it as low as i can without going to far. any input would be appreciated , thank guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Just install the spindells whit your drop keys (i plan on buying purple keys, and already have drop spindels). Also those belltech leafs give you around a 4"drop not the advertised 3". Edited July 5, 2008 by NTMD8R_SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoracer204 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I do my best to keep up with the tech around here but i thought the control arms were only for 2wds ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK i did some research and answered my own question but are these control arms a good way to go and are they difficult to install?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) For guys whit 4X4's they are, since whit those they will sit around our stance. Your best bet is spindels. Edited July 6, 2008 by NTMD8R_SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoracer204 Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 For guys whit 4X4's they are, since whit those they will sit around our stance. Your best bet is spindels. ok after looking at a ton of pics i think adding leafpacks and then spindles to the keys i already have will give me a stance i like with the front lower than the back, but will it drive ok and not tare anything up ?

NTMD8R_SS Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) Yes it will drive good, alittle stiffer tho. Also make sure you get new shocks and a good alingment. Edited July 6, 2008 by NTMD8R_SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
