04 Tahoe 3/5 drop

[danny_c]

Just got the hoe dropped today.I went with the Mgaughys spindle set up. Does any one here have experience with this set up? Main question being is that the back looks a little to high still. Does anyone here have a similar drop and want to uplaod pics for comparison.

Next mod includes 22"s (cus i still plan on lowering that bish more and 24" just to damn wide")

z71 front bumber

Denali rear bumper

Take off side moldings

Paint grill to match the whole car

Debadge

and a new paint job

what size are your factory wheels, mine are 16's and the spindles require 17's or larger on that kit?

The stockers are 17" and we still had to grind a piece of the bottom nut off cuz it was scrapping the wheels.

Don't worry 22's coming soon. I wish i could run 24's but all the affordable 24's are 10" wide. Asanti and a few other companies make the 24 x 9 but also over 1k per wheel. Reason why i want a wheel no wider than 9" is because i want it to sit inside my fender.

I had these wheels from my previous truck. I polished them and put them on the hoe.

I'm saying from the ground to the top of the fender

go back and crank your torsion keys in a few turns on each side. You should be fine then. Just do the same on both sides.

you can VERY easily do 24x10's with that drop. It shouldnt scrape at all. If it does, the tire is to big get a smaller profile. I rolled my fenders in for my 26's but i didnt have to do anything for the 24's that i used to have, and with well over 1000lbs in the back...which drops it another inch or two. Im basicly rolling with a 4/7 (from a 3/5 djm kit) on 6's and i all i had to do was make some relief cuts in my fender and bend the "Tabs" up....With the new Pirelli 25 series tires, i doubt i would have even had to do that.

torsion keys are only for the front not the rear. In my truck, which is a 2wd, you can get a little more then an inch, inch and a half and thats about it.....
