spindles

[Omar]

i want to lower the front of the tahoe more. im thinking about spindles
what are my options here? what is the best one to go with?
is it going to improve my handling? or is it only for the ride comfort?

I'm running the McG spindles and I like them. I feel like I've lost a bit of turning radius but I've never measured so that could all just be in my head. I hear the BellTech and DJM spindles are good too. I don't know that they'll improve your handling as bumpsteer may increase. They def do maintain stock ride characteristics when added to an otherwise stockish suspension.

I'm horrible at explaining in easy to use terms so I'll include a few links for you to read. Each link says the same thing and hopefully it is something you can wrap your head around.

[Alex33]

what is 2508s?

I think that's just the part number if you look for them on the BellTech site.
