What else is needed to do on a 4WD or AWD?
I am VERY impressed with everything done up front on my truck.
I picked up two stock upper control arms and 2" McGaughy Spindles from Mic. Jon replaced the front UCAs and installed the spindles. Everything looks factory up there, and I have these purty blue adjustable coil overs. I can lower the truck more if I wish, firmness, softness, or bring it back up. The geometry is way better than it was, and I wont have to worry about the grease boots bursting and then replacing ball joints. Good deal for anyone!
very tempting..... im about to have to completely go through my front end so this might need to happen
On the pic with Duckys truck there is probably another inch of adjustment up from his ride height.Quote:

very nice.....if using stock spindle what drop will that achieve?.
what drop will i get with stock spindles?
figured third time is the charm..... :)
I haven't put a set on a stock height truck yet. Since Mcgaughtys spindles are 2"drop the ride height could be 2-3" taller than in Davids pic.
Very cool, will be going this route. Thanks Jon for the write up.
