Spindles or Struts

[g35kid]

Hey guys looking for help lowering my truck. I really wanted to go with the 3-5 drop but the ONLY thing preventing me from doing that is all the work that needs to be done to prevent most of the rubbing.

So right now my truck is on 26" rims and looking to do the 2/3-4 drop and been reading the some are getting the front lowered by using lowering spindals and others are doing it with the lowering struts. Is there a benefit one way or the other. Any input would be great

IF you guys think im being a big baby because of the work that needs to be done on the 3/5 drop PLEASE let me know cuz thats what i really wanted to do. if there is any write ups on that matter i would like to look at it...

Thank again guys

Go with the spindle option

What is the offset on the wheels? I have a 3/5 drop (almost 6 in the rear) with both the spindle and adjustable struts on 26's on 295/30/26 and I have very little rubbing. Most of the rubbing will be eliminated by trimming the plastic where the wheels rub.

Need a lil help...

So I just bought a 2008 Yukon Denali. Did the Bilstein Spindle Drop on it 3/5 and put some white 24's on it. It has the air ride suspension, which i bought because I planned on lowering it. But, its bumpy...real bumpy. I want to know what you guys think I should do to fix this issue. Ive thought about switching over to the coilover system? also thought about lowering it using a shock system and doing the 2/3. Any input would be great!

Bilstein never sold spindles to lower it. My custom 3/5 kit on autoride rides nice.

So what all parts did you use?

So I did a little research. I believe the guy who did my install used the bell tech 2509 2" drop spindle kit for a 2007 Chevy Pickup, Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche (2509). And he used the 23323 Belltech "Pro" Coil Kit. Though he did not use the shocks that came with it. I am guessing he customized this somehow, because I read over the "Pro" Coil Kit and it states that it is not designed to be installed on vehicles equipped with "auto ride"
