Thread: Lowering with Spindles or Springs

    Lowering with Spindles or Springs

    I'm at a loss at which way to go for lowering the front of my sierra 2 inches. I would really like to do a 4/6, but I need to keep the ground clearance so I've decided to go 2/2 for now.

    Springs are cheap, but I'm concerned about alignment limitations, if I can still use my stock length shocks, and how the ride quality would be.
    Spindles are great in my mind for the ride quality but I have SSS 20's with stock size 275/55s on them and I'm concerned about them rubbing. I don't really to have a reason to justify buying lower profile tires for them(mine are practically brand new) right now.

    What I'm getting at is what would you guys recommend?

    Thanks

    I say do a 2/4, or just drop the rear 2 inches. level it out. 275 55's should be fine and not rub. I'm running 265/55's and have no prob at all.

    +1. Spindles for sure. You get more bump steer with just springs.

    I'm assuming you have spindles, correct? I already have leveled the rear I just want to get some rake in the truck, with 20's the front just looks kinda goofy to me.
