I'm basically a newbie here. i don't post alot, just read a few forums here and there.
So we go. I just lowered my 2010 silverado using McGaughy's 2-4 lowering kit, spindles in the front, hangers and a flip kit in the back. my problem is, the back is lower than the front by 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.
I do't like it.
What can i do?
What are my options?
Thankful for any help i can get.
did you take out the factory lift block?
yes i did. the rearend is now on top of the leafs.
a flip kit and hangers? did the hangers lift it or something?
no. the hangers didn't lift it. the rear actually lowered 4" like it's suppose to, the front didn't lower the 2" it was suppose to.
and i didn't want to change springs so i could maintane some ride quality.
Do you have the factory shackles at the back end of the leaf springs?
i have a 4-6 drop and its just a flip kit. i have no clue how hangers didnt lift it and you only got 4" in the rear. im not sure what to tell ya on the front...
There's no way u did hangers unless u cut off the oem and welded others on. A flip kit is 7 inch drop from mcaughys that's what I have and 4 in front 2 inch spindle 2 inch spring.You can trim half a turn off the front springs or get a drop spring
yes i do.
i did cut the hangers off as per directions. the new ones bolt in place of the old ones. i did exactly what the directions showed....which wern't very good....i actually used bell tech directions also. bell tech's where alot more detailed. this was my first for lowering a truck, so i followed as closely as possible.
