Hey, I had found a McGaughy 2/4.5 kit for $345 before shipping, but it is a regular cab kit. The quad cab which I have is $429 before shipping. What make these kits any different? The regular cab kit states it gets 4.5 in back when the quad gets 4in in back, but whatever.

not trying to embarrass anyone, i was just getting an idea of whos truck sits lower (or in your case) higher haha. nah, i just wanna use my truck as a base to see what other trucks stances would look like in person. as for the drop kit, i think the difference is that the quad cab and the standard cab dont sit the same from the factory, one is higher up than the other. i just dont know which one off the top of my head. (thats just my guess)

Probably correct, I'm not seeing what kit I get(2dr vs. 4dr) being so different that it poses a problem, but I could be wrong. Just don't want to pay $100 more if I don't have to, just because it states 4dr it seems the flip kit and coils would be the same.

Quick question guys..............I am getting the McGaughy's 2/4.5" deluxe drop kit for my 02 QC. I am wondering if I am going to have clearance issues with the front spindles and the stock 17" wheels that I have?
