spindles + drop keys

[tybardy]

i know we have kinda *********** about this a little already, but IIRC, billsteins dont make drop shocks... does that make a difference up front? I think i will be fine out back with the extensions... just curious

If you use spindles and keys up front to get a total of a 5 inch drop... Could u get the front end aligned correctly?

 

[tybardy]

from my understanding, you can get the toe correct but the camber will be hard, possibly imposible to get 100% corrrect.

Aftermarket cams ftw. My ucas are gonne get ripped out next month, easy fix for running keys.

since we are on the subject, i want to ask something about alignment

I had my truck aligned and the passenger side was a LITTLE out of camber, but otherwise perfecto... Now, both sides are jacked, toe is out and camber is ******... can a suspension "settle in" or something? Why did this happen?

Your front end could be ******, I replaced mine at 100k.

 

[tybardy]

by front end... you mean..........

i guess ball joints, pitmen arms, and a bunch of other expensive *********?

 

[Max]

Yes. Balljoints will require replacement of the entire control arm as you can't press new ones into an arm that is all wallowed out. Usually it's just the pitman arm, idler arm, inner and outer tie rod ends. Parts were $500 my cost for the napa premiums.
