MobbinSS Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ok so I have a single cab silverado 1999 with the newer body style with the 2wd and 4wd function. I have new 22s on, but I want to get LOW. However I don't want it to f uck up the 4wd or anything. I want like a 3/4 , 3/5, an hopefully 4/6. 3/4 3/5 4/6 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobbinSS Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I should say the tires are 265/35/R22. Low profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverad0 SS Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) in the same boat, you need LCA's and drop spindles for a total of 5inch's up front, i don't know which one you have but you need both to go lower. I've also heard some guys are doing LCA's,spindles and drop keys. drop keys and the LCA's do the same thing but some people lower them more with the keys but it loosens your torsion bars a good bit, I've even read a thread where a guy lost one of his keys while driving because they were loose Edited June 20, 2012 by Silverad0 SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) So just to clarify you have "2wd/4wd" NBS style suspension, meaning torsion keys, no springs? If so you can drop it like we do, if not you're gonna have to use drop springs etc. Edited June 20, 2012 by Bad Ass Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverad0 SS Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 How much taller are the 4x4's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobbinSS Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 How much taller are the 4x4's? 4x4 are 2 inches higher. And yes it has torsion keys, with the newer body style 1999 suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Nice, go 4/6, get some spindles and drop torsion keys, flip kit for the back and notch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverad0 SS Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Nice, go 4/6, get some spindles and drop torsion keys, flip kit for the back and notch it if you do this, its gonna look just as low as a 2/4 drop. if you do LCA'S and drop spindles up front and flip kit hanger and shackle in the back you get a 5/8 drop, but its gonna look like a 3/6 drop.

cfresh138 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 4x4 are 2 inches higher. And yes it has torsion keys, with the newer body style 1999 suspension. According to who/what? Before my drop every 4x4 I parked next to was the same height as my truck. A 4x might be 2 inches taller than a coil front 2wd, but not a torsion bar front SSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSS is 1in lower in the front and 2in lower in the back from the normal height of a 2wd, a 4x4 is 2in taller then the normal height of a 2wd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
