Low stance and looking good. Measurements by chance?

Tony strikes again... That thing looks bad ass!!! Nice work!!!

Makes me think I need to pull those 1in spacers I got from you with my springs and just run your 6in springs straight up. Close that wheel gap up that much more, looks sooo clean.

Obviously did the free travel mod, spring insulators removed too? Does it bottom out being that low?
I don't imagine the spacers can give that noticeable amount of travel.

I'm a bit confused on when you want to use Spindle vs Lower Control??? On my mini truck I used spindle and it can get crazy low?? I want a more modest lowering of our "Denali" 2-3 and I'm pretty sure "spindles" are the way to go. But I would like to "understand" the difference between using "Spindles" and Using "Lower Control arms" to drop one of theses trucks?? Is the use of "lower Control Arms" simply about going "lower??"

Seeing that truck makes me glad I did a 2/3 drop. Never ride on our roads here that low.

I did a similar drop to mine, can be seen here:

I suppose how low depends on where you drive/live?? You could get away with that in NV, home of glass smooth HWY's! :)

So how do you achieve 3"? Keys all the way turned down? Also how does LCA work with drop keys?

do not use keys. more than 1 inch they start to ride worse and worse. at 2 inches camber off and wont align and lower than that worse it gets. the a arms is what lowers the truck 3 inches reindexs keys and ride stays nice

Real nice how low are you ?
How’s the ride quality on that? Looks good. I wanted to go 2/4. But now I’m thinking of doing the 3-5/6. Is it still AWD? And are you still using factory air ride? I don’t want any error messages on my dash.

My set up 3/5-6 rides good. Awd is no issue but my set up bypasses autoride and no message on dash

Looking at that 3/5-6 drop has me second guessing my visions since thatll be a little lower than I want. So I'll probably go with a 2/3-4 drop that should be sufficient enough to eliminate the hidious gap. Tony any ideas for the my setup. I want the best solution.

Not a Denali... I have a 3/4 drop currently. Sometime soon I will end up getting 6” springs. It’s just not low enough! Also stay away from drop keys! The ride using keys is why I bought Tony’s kit.
