Are these what make your truck lowered 5" - 6" in front instead of the normal 2" - 3" with 2" spindles and regular lowering keys?

The reason I ask is because the McGaughy kit I'm looking at says it's 2" drop spindles and drop keys that lower it another 1" to 2". I'm guessing instead of using these 1" to 2" keys, I could get yours and then I would be able to go 5" lower in the front...



If so, I'm interested...

[Max]

These in conjunction with my 2" spindles allowed me the 6" drop, every truck is different and my yukon sat lower than most while still being within alignment spec. You'll be at 5" drop with spindles unless you peg the bars.

Do you rip your fender lip inside down and cut your tire up at all...ever?

This is what I needed to know. I will take a set. I'm waiting on a payment from a sold eBay item and then I'll PayPal you right away.

Address in PayPal is fine to ship to.

Thanks Max!

Nope. I get a little rubbage at higher speeds which is why I'm going down to a 30.5" tall tire that is slightly narrower than my wide ass pro comps. My backspacing really helps to tuck in front.

[BlizzardX23]

hmm...I dont rub too much on the inner fender wall anymore, after adjusting my torsions...

just...when I hit a round curb (going into the drivway) or fly into a parking lot with a dip...(while turning)...it rips the fender lip and does major damage...how did you prevent that??

[Max]

By not running wide as shit tires.

Payment sent !!!

[Max]

I'll try getting them out monday, should have them friday if all goes well :cheers:

[Kat Killa]

If I'm sitting level, and at the height I want to be w/stock keys but turned most of the way down, do I need these to keep my front aligned?

[Max]

No but it's not a bad idea if your keys are really decranked and you want a bit more drop.

[Max]

Bump.

[cgilas]

Ok I may be asking a dumb question, but Im kinda new to this, so bear with me... I have a 2005 Tahoe 4x4.. I already installed the belltech 2 inch spindles up front.... Will these keys work on my truck also?... Im trying to go lower... maybe another 2 inchs up front.... thanks

[Max]

Yep they will drop the truck another 1"-3" depending on the condition of your torsion bars and where you set the adjuster bolts.

[Kat Killa]

Max, do you still have any of these left?

[Travieso]

do you have any back kits to level out the back end of the truck ?

[Max]

Max, do you still have any of these left?
Yes I have a few sets still available. $50 shipped send paypal to: mcconditioner1@yahoo.com

I can check pricing on some 2" or 3" drop coils. I'd go with some 3" coils and decrank your stock keys slightly to get it sitting level...or just do a 2/4 drop :imo:

[Kat Killa]

Payment sent. The address in paypal is correct. I'll post some pix when it's done. Thanks.

[brndns_hoe]

i'm interested in a set of those too max, but quick question before I commit, dumb one probably...are they necessary or just cranking down the stock keys 2" enough?

[Max]

Decranking will work to an extent but I'd do keys past 1" or so of drop.

[brndns_hoe]

cool, i'll try to send ya that money later today, and definitely interested in the coils when you get prices on those

[HokieHigh]

Heh max paypal sent tonight, Saturday oct. 2

[brndns_hoe]

[Max]

I have about a dozen sets dude, no worries.

[COTahoeLS]

So when are you lowering my Hoe? :hands:

[Max]

Whenever you want dude, just let me know how low you want it.

[TqMnster]

Think I'm bout to purchase a set :D

[Kat Killa]

Max, I sent a PM and paid on 10/2 through paypal for a pair of the keys but haven't received a response from you yet. Didn't know if I got lost in the shuffle or what. Just wondering.

[Max]

I got you man, keys will ship tomorrow when I'm back in the office :cheers:

[Kat Killa]

Thanks, no rush. I didn't want you to think I was bustin your balls.

[Max]

Shipped both sets out today, still have more if anyone needs some :cheers:

[rockymt21]

You're tempting me!

[Max]

Keys and coils just send me the paypal yo.

[HokieHigh]

Hey Max, you have the rear 5" lowering coils for sale. How much?

[Travieso]

okay so I'm a little lost whats the difference between these and our stock keys ? can i just De cranked my original keys (Which i have)and keep it at a proper lowering height ?

[JaymzSS]

sent you a pm.


thanks

These will drop more than a stock key, they're indexed so you have to apply more tension with the adjuster bolt to reach the same level with decranked stock keys. These typically drop a truck 1.5" to 3" depending on the condition of your torsion bars.

sent you a pm.

thanks

Replied :cheers:

[dropmech]

If you still have a set of the keys by this weekend, I'll buy a set.

[Max]

No worries I have plenty.

[JaymzSS]

Funds sent today


Thanks

[BlueTahoe2001]

Max, I know I sent you another PM on GMFS but do you have rear coils to?

[1Kmart]

Hey I am new to this site and wondering how low can i go with the 26 inch rims without major modification to my wheel wells. If I got the 3/4 keys, What else would I need and how is the ride quality?:confused:

[Max]

They'll ride fine with good shocks 2" drop should be fine with 26s but it all depends on the offset. I've done quite a few 2" key drops on trucks with 26s and they didn't rub.

[1Kmart]

I have a set of 26" velocity 705 with 305/30/26. What about the rear?

http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=361&pictureid=2692

[Max]

Rear can be dropped with 3" to 4" coils, I prefer the belltechs.

[1Kmart]

Do you have pictures of tahoe with 26" and the 3/4 drop on the front and back?

[Max]

Nope all I have is one with a 3/4 on 22s

[mo0n]

I am interested in a set of keys got anymore?

[Max]

Yep still have more just paypal the loot and I'll ship em out.

[Kyle C.]

Hey Im a noob here. I just picked up my '02 Yukon on Monday. Love the forum so far, awesome info and ideas.

It's stock on 22's, what else would I need for the drop besides the keys or is that it? I'm wanting either a 3/4 or 2/3 drop.

[jhud25]

got my torsion keys today. Thanks!

[T-Giv]

Still got torsion keys laying around Max?

[1lowhoe04]

i have the DJM lower control arms (3inches) and i have theses 2500HD keys in mine heres what the out come looked like

[T-Giv]

Are the 2500 keys what Max is selling? How much do the DJM control arms run and how complex is the install? I like the stance on your Hoe and that height would be nice on my Esky.

[1lowhoe04]

yea there all the same ! and i have a set also well a couple sets but a couple houndred for the Control arms and not complex at all ! and those pictures is with the torsion keys all the way down ! and deff would look sick

[T-Giv]

I've just never installed any drop kits before. Am I going to get some bad camber issues with dropping 3'' with the arms and then another inch with the keys? What do you recommend for the rear? I have air ride so just springs with shock extenders?

[1lowhoe04]

yea you will get some negitive camber isssues but thats what allignments are for lol and rear if you like the way mine sits lol bag it! but i have a drop 5 inch spring cut in half lol ! but max could prob let you look at his since yall are closer ! and norcal ss sells the trailblazer ss drop springs and been getting the best results in that but i am about to bagg mine just to get a better ride!

[T-Giv]

Nice! I'd like to start with just the arms and keys to get a nice 4'' drop up front and then do springs to get to 4'' in the rear. I think that would be a good stance and go to bags later. I'm trying to link up with Max to check out his truck and get some help with a kit and the install.

[dwort]

Hey Max.....been reading for a while on this topic.

Would you still have the keys for sale??

I have a 06 Silverado 1500 Z71.........2" drop Belltech spindles and 4" shackles.
on 20" wheels.

I would like to drop the front another 1" for new 22" i'm installing.

Maybe you could help me out with some advise.

Thanks,

mike

[Max]

Have you adjusted your stock keys at all? You may be able to get about 1" of drop from decranking them a bit, just be sure to have the truck aligned once you get it to the stance you'd like. I have plenty of keys available if you need some but I got about 3" out of mine.

[ssbeast805]

Max do you have anymore Keys?

[Max]

Yes I still have some, paypal $50 to:

mcconditioner1@yahoo.com

:cheers:

[05nali]

If i have all stock suspension, how much drop can i get with just these?
