    Another suspension question!!!!

    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.

    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.

    Do you have the factory shackles at the back end of the leaf springs?

    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
