So what would be the best front drop spindle to do? I am planning on doing a 3" 4" drop. Planning on doing belltech shocks and rear springs but am unsure on what spindles to get. I havnt heard much about mcgaughys or belltech spindles. What one to chose......

And from what I understand mcgaughys are the same size as stock spindles and belltechs are taller putting different stress on the ball joins. Hope Tony will chime in

No problems (knock on wood) with the Belltech spindles I got from Tony. I had only read comparatively GOOD things about Belltech, and so I had no reservations getting them.

I've read where others have gotten suspension warnings with other spindles, but I've been light-free with the Belltechs from day-one.

And I'll clarify more on my end. I had McG's on my 04 Escalade and lost turning radius, but everything rode fine. On my 07 Yukon I went with Belltechs and everything is just like factory.

Well then.........
:Handshake:


Actually, I too have read on the truck forums that McGaughy's spindles are the one to go with....... Though, knowing what I know now, I would get BellTech.
