I have Belltech spindles in front with torsion bars turned down. I have Mcgaughy rear springs with no spacer. I have Belltech shocks all the way around and love them. Also have Belltech front and rear sway bars. I sit at 33 in front and 33.5 rear. 285-45-22 tires

Crazy but there is nothing that is not new in my suspension and I still here the same noise when I turn the wheel pulling out of my driveway or over a bump the sway bar is sorted out ....The only thing I haven't replaced is the steering box and lower steering column link ..On the road it drives Awesome, very tight, Great over bumps or chuck holes just that noise is still there, I hate noises

I have Belltech drop spindles, belltech shocks, belltech sway bars, Spohn pan hard bar, Spohn lower boxed rear control arms, Djm rear lower control arm relocation brackets , Djm rear sway bar links, 22" wheels, it's a 3" x 5" drop. relocated the rear bump stops ( free travel ) ....Truthfully I hate the ride and the front end keeps loosening up I had everything tightened up at an alignment shop and now it's making the same noises ( clunking ) when I turn the wheel as before.The alignment shop said all front end parts are good . Is there a better way to go ? coilovers ? air ride ? I just want it to be super tight I know the 22's won't ever be Great but I'm putting some Michilin Pilots or Toyo tires soon maybe a bit bigger
Yeah, I know it's an old thread. But I've been look for a certain parts combination and you're the first I've come across who is running it.
You have the Spohn boxed lower control arms with poly bushings and you're running them with DJM's rear hardware kit (the lower arm relocation brackets) specifically? I have the DJM pieces installed and was looking at the Spohn lower arms. But some have said they won't fit. But you got them to work?

Hey man. I'm looking to drop my 2001 2wd Tahoe. Think I want to go 3/5. I'm also doing some performance upgrades as well. I'm new to the lowering world. Any advice and help would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance.
