Turning radius with spindles

[Leroy Ca.]

Hey guys, i'm going to be lowering my tahoe monday. I also have a gmc sierra crew cab with McGauhey spindles on it and the turning radius is terrible. I am leaning towards belltech spindles and springs on my tahoe. How badly will this affect the turning radius? Are control arm kits better? Thanks

Had McGauphy's on my Escalade. Turning radius was CRAP. I have Belltech's on my Yukon, same turning radius as factory. Belltech FTW.

I have ground force spindles and the turning radius is the same as factory also

I heard of this before from McG. Beltech is no change over factory.

Thanks guys. That helps alot. The hoe is dropped about 2/3 right now, going 4/5 on monday. I'll try and post some pics when its done.

I have the belltech spindles on my avy and I noticed a sugnificant difference in turning radius. I can definitely make sharper u-turns now.

belltechs pretty much like oem i have them on my escalade no issues

Strangely I've had the McGaughy's spindles on two different '08 silverados and experienced no noticable decrease in turning radius. DJM control arms are another story all together...comparing the two may be why I don't have an issue with McG but I would steer anybody away from them. I whip into my tight parking spot every morning like the other three crew cabs I park with.

same story. we have them on our 08 LTZ and had them on my 06 silverado crew cab and had no issues whatsoever with turning radius.
