Lowered Trucks: tech and info....
#972
So I learned something, ill give some background for reference.
my truck is an 04 singlecab 4wd. I dont know if this applys to 2wd trucks
The steering rack will top out BEFORE the suspension hits the bumpstops in the front. you can only drop the truck so far before you need to do a bumpsteer kit (which puts the tie rod ends UNDER the spindle) in the front.
I broke my rack when I had the truck on the front bumpstops for 5 miles. It just has a limited amount of upwards travel.

dannnnnnggggg... new guy here to forum and i shall hanging out on this long a$$ thread as i get closer to doing my 2/4 drop. yeah, yeah, i know... you'll wanna go lower once ya get the bug, but i already know i'm not going any lower. i like the looks of the 2/4's better than the lower ones. just not my bag, baby. nothing against those cause everyone loves their truck their way. plus, i can't afford to do things like c-notches and whatnot, so i'll be doing the least i can to lower the truck and still retain ride quality if not better. i would love air ride trailing arm but that'll have to wait a LONNNGGGGG time. there are quite some awesome looking trucks on this thread. lots of ideas from ya all. thanks

Megacab Drop
Ok guys i am new to this site and I just spent the last 3 hours reading this thread. I have a few questions for you guys. I have a 07 Megacab 1500 2WD SLT. I want to do a 2/4.5 drop with spindles in the front and flip kit in the back. The question that I have is that I can't seem to find the spindles for my truck. After looking at my spindles they look very similar to the McGaugheys. I think the only difference is the bearing hub but I am wondering if it will bolt to the lowered spindle. It has three mounting bolts like the others. Well guys let me know if you have any ideas.
