So I’ve put drop spindles on several 88-98 trucks, and also my old 08 Escalade. Every time, they pushed the wheels out further. It really bothered me most on the Escalade tho. The front tires stuck out just a tiny bit and absolutely drove me nuts. Thinking of dropping my 16 Suburban, just wondering if this is still the case? Do drop spindles push the front wheels out further on these trucks too? Thanks guys!

Good to know. On the trucks I have used both belltech and some off brand no names. I wanna say the Escalade was a McGaughys kit, but I can’t remember for sure.

Same here. I installed Tony's kit and no issues. Matter-of-fact no issues on neither my 02 or my Crew Cab. I did pick up and install the extended upper control arms in order to get the wheels to look an sit straight.
