spindles??

[tybardy]

As many of you know, I dropped my truck using rear coils and front keys.. 2/3 drop

Very soon I am buying rear relocation hardware and shock extenders as well as 4 new shocks.

I am thinking about replacing my drop keys with spindles... is it worth the money?

hmmm... this truck doesnt use spindles up front does it??

How do I fix the front end and make it "right"?

What is wrong with a 2/3 drop using keys?

I got a 2/3 drop with new lowering shocks, keys and rear lower coils

love the look... not happy with the ride quality... and I am having a small bit of trouble with the alignment (however the alignment issue might be due to the peice of shit moron that did the alignment work).

I am guessing the 2/3 drop is minimal enough that I should be able to get the ride quality to near stock. I just want my tahoe to ride better then it does. It used to be ignorable, but I am just tired of bumping around and riding like booty

You don't need trailing arm relocation with that small of a drop, get some 6" coils and buy some 2508 belltech spindles so it sits like my truck

how long have we been on this forum? you always forget that I am POOR!

I got a little bit of that Uncle Sam money, so far I can get all the rear end relocation ********* and all four bilsteins for $500

I just want to get the front end better as well

Spindles will make it ride just like stock but I still think you shouldn't buy the arm relocators.

 

[tybardy]

shock extenders?

 

[Max]

Don't you have shock extensions? I'd do some of those before any control arm relocators.

Why did you let a moron....oh wait a minute you lowered it Anyways I'd get some spindles and soften up the ride alot.

Did you trim the stock bumpstops in the front when you lowered it? I'd try this out and wouldnt do the spindles. If your going any lower then 3" in the back, then i would suggest the trailing are relocaters, but thats just me. Do the shocks, trim the bump stops, and do the shocks and have it re-aligned at a shop that deals with lowered/ lifted trucks.

I bought shock extenders shortly after I lowered her, they did not fit (the bolt patterns did not line up). So I took them back to the shop that made them and they gave me a new set, those did not work. I brought them back and they would make me new ones, that never happened.

Eventually I just moved on from the idea. Now that I have a couple extra bucks, I want my trucks ride quality to be 100% better if possible.

belltech 6651 will fit.

 

[tybardy]

yea, the local company that made the extenders I have knocked these off... they looked very similar.

I was looking around... Would a JDM Comtroll arm make the front better? or should i just go with the original plan and swap the keys for 2" spindles?


On a side note, I REALLY do not want to change the front height AT ALL!!! I love the front stance a lot, the rear can go a little lower though

Spindles will help the ride but I'd honestly start with bilsteins and see how it drives.
