Question about the 00-06 Tahoe/Yukon DJM drop arms

[Alex33]

Do you know how these arms get the drop? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the swap to add these to stock spindles and drop keys or do drop spindles and stock keys. Any help is appreciated.

drop spindles will only lower 2 inches.

arms indexes keys so in turn creates 3 inch drop about.

if you use drop spindles stock keys and djm arms you will get 5 inch drop

Thanks, I currently have keys and spindles up front, but I'm curious to see if the spindle/arm combo will ride better than the spindle/key combo. Do you recommend making the switch?

 

[NORCAL SS]

whenever you use keys i never liked the ride. also with a arms you will have full turning radius back.

What limits turn radius, the spindles or the keys?

 

[NORCAL SS]

spindles do but not much on the belltechs (the original 16 inch ones did)
but keys at 2 inch level ride very harsh.

I put spinldes in my truck and lost 1/8 of a turn not much at all.

Ok, thanks. Just doing some research...figuring out if i want a 2 or 3 in front drop for my Yukon.
