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...

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.

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!

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

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.

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??

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?

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

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

Max, do you still have any of these left?
Yes I have a few sets still available. $50 shipped send paypal to: [email protected]
do you have any back kits to level out the back end of the truck ?
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:
