Help With Drop

[ktrent]

Newbie here with a couple of questions. I have been lifting trucks for years and still lifting trucks. My wife has a 09 Denali and I will be lowering it just a little. I am thinking 2/3 and I want to run 24 inch wheels. My question is what parts to use to keep the ride and drive as close to stock as possible with no rubbing. I would rather use a spindle in the front and coils in the back i think but i am open to any imput from guys that have been there done that. Was looking a mcgaughys first but after some reading here seems guys are steering other directions. I will have no issues installing anything so thats not a issue.

Oh yes it has auto level in the rear.

Thanks in advance and i will post pics of build.

here you go this will keep autoride working correctly and people will agree the 5305 belltech rear coils ride great which the kit includes

My I ask why belltech over mcg spindles. I am not partial to either I would just like to know the difference.

Your Denali is autoride on all 4 corners. Some prefer Belltech, some McGaughys. I have an 08 Burban with autoride like your Denali and run mcgaughys with no issues. It's a 2/3 on 24s as well.

When you get tires, run a 295/35/24. If you run a 305/35/24 you are going to rub a little at full lock. Not bad, but it's there.

Mcgauhys is a good product also. I have used the belltech with no ill results and aligns fine.

In rear the belltech setup on the autoride trucks does ride better though thats for sure.

I have had belltech on a truck in the past with no issues. What ever I do it must be very driver friendly. I wouldn't mind a firmer ride but not bumpy.

Bell Tech spindles don't acoomodate 17" wheels without severe modification of lower ball joints (from my experience... and McGaughy's don't). If this fitment will never be a concern they/each are a great product, from what I hear, otherwise...

I heard that Belltech spindles restrict you turn radius a lot with the 2/3. Can anyone verify this? Which is better for the front spindles or Lower Control Arms?
