3/5 drop

[joelyons]

Why is it that I can't find a company that offers a lowering kit to drop my 99' silverado standard cab 3" in front and 5" in back. I have checked with Mcgaughys, Belltech, and DJM. Are there no kits for that ride height for a reason?????

B/c the new trucks are set up a little different in the back and it would sag. The 3/4, which I have, levels everything out. All the kits your mentioned are excellent and right now i would almost recommend Mcgaughys b/c I've heard nothing but good things. They've engineered their spindles to have the stock position for the steering, which eliminates bump steer.

Thanks for the advice again. What size tires and rims are you running on your silverado?

No problem They're 20x9 all the way around. With 275/35 BFG's.

I just got off the phone with McGaughys. Ordered their 2" drop spindle & 1" springs for the front and a shackle & hanger out back for a drop of 3/4. Should be delivered the beginning of next week sometime. Can't wait......

Not sure. They are tucked under though, I hate it too when tires stick out on stock or lowered trucks. When I ordered them from Discount they just used the factory offset i believe. There is not rubbing whatsoever.

jamster,
do you know what the stock offset for a silverado is?
