danny_c Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny_c Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBIRD Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNKYOU007 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 nice i was just getting on here to scope out some drop kits for my 01 suburban. where did you buy the kit? i have 22's now but i have a dude that has some 26's hes gonna sell me for $1500 but i dont wanna go to low. looks good tho. Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C. Arson d(-__-)b beer sucks...but i can bring some jose cuervo. Only problem is that it makes me horny and gives me the rams. So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason why i want a wheel no wider than 9" is because i want it to sit inside my fender. 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. 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. 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.....
