Thread: What lowering kit to get?? OPINIONS NEEDED!

  1. #1

    Question What lowering kit to get?? OPINIONS NEEDED!

    2004 5.3 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab

    I basically want to do a 2"/4" drop.

    Yeah Which one should I get? WITH or WITHOUT Shocks? Whats the reasoning to getting a kit w/o shocks? i need to call Belltech too...

    What is the diffrence between their NITRO and STREETPERFORMACE shock??

    OR should i buy diffrent shocks on the side?? OR should I go with a hutchkins or what other brand?

    axle flip and cut your springs 3 in will get you a 3/6 i love mine just don get spindles they will push your front tires out and you will scrub

    Do spindles up front, keeps all your front end geometry in check. McGaughtys has a better spindle than Belltech for static drop.

    i hear ya well Belltech is real nice just get drop springs and not spendels for the front the alinement shop may have to work alil harder but spendels tend to make you scrub inless you have ruberbands

    Ive never notice the belltech or Mcgaughty spindles pushing the wheels out, new one to me. Spindles will save your inner tierods.. Easier to align with spindles too

    thats because your camber was probably maxed out with the cut spring, pulling the wheel in. with spindles its easier to get the stock specs back in check
