my drop came in today, before i get started my tires are 275/55/20 will they clear a 2/4 drop on an 06 crew cab?

 

You might have troubles up front, the rear should be fine, depending if they tuck though

 

finished the rear yesterday which was a b**** and took about 3 1/2-4 hours. its alot lower than i was expecting but i can always come up on the rear shackle. the kit has no instructions so does anyone have a how to on changing the front springs( iv never done one on an independent suspension) from what drop i got in the rear i think my tires are going to be close or to big for the front

 

Going to be real tight up front. I would guess rubbing on dips/bumps, and possibly lock to lock.

To install springs, you will have to seperate the ball joint from the spindle and just drop the lower arm down to get the spring out. Don't take the nut all the way off the ball joint when you are seperating them, that way when it does seperate it is still somewhat attached and the spring doesn't come flying out at you. Have a jack under the lower arm too that is just barely putting any pressure on the spring/arm to more or less support it. After the ball joint is seperated, take enough tension off the ball joint nut to get it off, and SLOWLY lower the jack to let the lower arm down. Pull the spring out and do the opposite to put it back in.

 

Front isnt as bad
looking good so far!

 

well here it is. glad my tires fit. i like the look of a bigger tire and the ride is better, hoping it will settle in since the front left is like an inch lower than the right. the back was the same but its come down to within half an inch..anyone else have this lean problem or will it settle in? btw this is a mcgaughys 2'' coils, leafs and shackles

 

Looks good! The springs will settle some, but seams as if your chevy lean has become a little more noticable after you dropped the truck. It is typical of our trucks to lean to the drivers side, some not noticable, some close to an inch different between sides. Since it was coils up front though, did you make sure they are seated in the pocket on the lcas correctly? There is a small little lip on the lca where the pigtail of the spring goes. Forgot to mention that in my above post

 

yea i got them in the groove right, i think they have settled in some, its within about half an inch side to side, thanks for the replies.

 

there have been threads on the lean in the past. eibach makes a bushing that will correct it, i believe stylinconcepts.com carries it. truck looks good. how did you do the front? i have always pulled out the shock and lowered the inside of the a-arm with a jack to avoid messing with the ball joints and never had any problems doing it that way

 

i pulled out the shock then the ball joint and the sway bar so i could get the lower arm low enough to actually get the spring out
