Another lowering thread...

I have seen a couple people saying that they could NOT run 17 inch wheels with the 2 inch spindle drop.

Can anyone confirm this?

I see that some of the spindles are stamped with a message saying "must use 17" or larger wheels", but I have found user reviews that say, and show pics, that they couldnt. Ball joint would not clear, even after shaving the bolt head off.

It'll vary from wheel to wheel. Hell, my neighbor had to shave his studs to fit the 18s he had.

@Sam Harris or @Fless or any other Colorado member..

Are any of you running the 2 inch drop spindles?

 

[Fless]

I'm not. Pretty sure @Sam Harris isn't, either, but maybe he'll answer for himself.

Anyone able to confirm that the OEM rear shock 25871432 will work on my 2006 Esky?

They appear to be for a 2007-2014, but cant see any reason they wouldnt work on my 2006?

I think I might have answered my own question. Those are Z95 shocks, Magnaride. I need Z55 shocks..

I found a set local to me for cheap! But unless the Magnaride and Z55 are interchangeable, I will have to pass.

@Doubeleive - Did you ever get a definitive answer to this?

I am having a hard time finding the Z55 front shocks. Am I missing something..

Searched RA, AZ, AA, Amazon, eBay, and a few others.

Am I looking for 580-439? I have 17" wheels, and these say EXCEPT 20". But I cant find any other part number?
