spindles for sure that far...

 

[sick1166]

are there any pros or cons to either set up

Turning radius is lost w/ spindles, it is noticeable also. I have them, some times have to make 2 point turns. sort of bothersome, but not really, or cut the spindle right there and you have full turning.

Otherwise cant help you much, i have nbs tahoe. Not sure if its different on yours than mine.

not in the NNBS, mine is still the same and have not noticed any loss. Doing spindles will keep your Ride like factory. Spindle will Keep the stock geometry. All a spindle drop does is make the hub sit higher on the spindle but really the axles are sitting in the same position. Its more work but worth it. Doing struts can cause Negative camber and will be harder to get back into alignment. it also can cause rapid Tire wear if not aligned properly. Ride wont be like factory and will feel a bit stiffer. I have beltech 2/3 and do not regret it one bit.

Well dont read my answer. lol. Wish the nbs didnt loose turning radius.

how many miles do you have on your truck? If its over 60k miles i would do the drop struts with rear shocks/springs all belltech and ride will be great.

Believe that........Tony sold me a strut shock 2/3 adjustable kit, love it

thanks for some help I will definetly be buying from tony as you all have positive thing to say and he seems to know his buisness I have about 65,000 miles so i guess the struts in the front and shock spring kit in the rear ?
NOW if i want to go a " or 2 lower down the road can I add the spindles and get that drop or do i need a whole new set up looking at the future because i dont know if 2" in the front is enough maybe a little lower down the road thanks again

the belltech 739 kit has the 2 inch spindles, and the adjustable struts:

the struts come with like 6 large steel rings (think washers) and you put XX amount on for XX drop, or put XXXX for XXXX lift.

so you put the spindles on for a 2 inch drop,
then do either 1 or 2 inch drop on the strut

a strut is better for geometry & steering, per the Belltech phone rep,
he was really liking the spindle drop.

also, with the strut drop, you will probably need the $89 alignment kit.

I am thinking I am going to do spindle 2 and the strut 1, and do an alignment,
and if I don't like it, i will take the strut 1 inch back out.
