Hey..... so now I am kinda annoyed about dropping my front.

I ONLY wanted one inch, and the BellTech drop struts allow me to do that, but..........

If the BellTech SP shocks are not that great for the back, then by that reasoning, they are not that great for the front struts.

I would do spindles but the added cost and the loss of turning radius has got me thinking.

I only want a 1" / 2" drop now, just to get my rake back. I have the faggy Cali-lean sometimes.

Hmm you could get some bilstein struts and do the strut mod?
Tony says he's never had a problem and he did it to his own truck..
That way no spindle no belltech

But in all honesty the belltech struts aren't bad. They just could be more responsive other than the responsiveness I'd say they were probably as good as stock.
But on my roads I need response and the ride quality is the most important part of the car to me.

That was exactly what I was thinking, till Modded put the bug in my head about the strut integrity.

I don't want to be in a ditch.

Plus, I don't know any machine shops around here that would or could.

Hey Josh, where did you buy your spindles?

[Blazed]

I bought them from a guy on here selling them used for 200$

OOOOH
ok ok
Spindles plus 5100 lifted one inch they make those I'm fairly sure.

I thought the used ones were Belltechs?

Not McGaughy's......

Lee, get these:

I forgot to mention them throughout this whole process for some reason. I was going to run them before I decided to get the Belltech SP struts so I had a whole new shock. Honestly, if you have higher miles, get the Belltech SPs. They do fine for me since they are incorporated in a strut design.
Or you can get HD front shocks and run them with the McG relocators in the above link. It's nice because you can adjust it from -1" to -2".
