Lowering Qs
When using drop coils (not cut down stock coils) How do you get your trucks lined up? Is there a way that you can have the wheels and tires sitting straight up and down not leaning in at the top out at the bottom with use of these drop cooils?
Thanks |

Re: Lowering Qs
You need to get a wheel alignment.

Re: Lowering Qs
Haven't done it just thinking about future projects so it can be corrected by the alignment shopthats good to know.Any one know if changing the control arm angle by installing shorter drop coils adversely affects handeling,does it help it?

You can use drop spindles, and not change the suspension geometry at all. Mine handles a lot better than it did before I installed the 2.5" drop spindles.

Several people on here have reported that the front bars are a direct bolt-in. Just make sure you get all of the hardware. If your truck does not already have a swaybar, make sure you get the frame mount backets. Mine didn't have one from the factory, so I bought the frame brackets at the dealer rather than trying to cut the factory rivets in a junkyard. I think they were around $10 each new. I plan to put a 3/4 or 1 ton bar on the front of my truck if I can ever remember to pick one up when I am at a junkyard. As far as the rear bars go, I have heard both that Suburban bars fit and that they don't. If you get one to fit your truck, post pics.  Slonaker |
