I can't afford front spindles right now (can't even afford hangers lol), but I'm trying to figure out how to get my truck lower on a very tight budget. I currently have lowering torion keys, lift blocks removed, 2" rear shackles, and spring clamps. My question is, can I install rear hangers, remove the spring clamps, and be able to lower the front end enough via keys, so that the truck sits level or has a slight rake in the back? I know that I'll need pinion shims and an alignment, but is this do-able and will there still be any ride quality? Also, can I get away without a c-notch?

If not, I'll just wait until whenever, and get front spindles, etc.

Thanks!!

 

yes you can just add hangers and decrank, and get away with notch, ride will be fine besides bottoming out over big bumps, just run a small bumpstop till you can notch.

 

Cool deal, thanks man

 

Do you think I'll be OK with 285/50-20's?

 

Bump for some info on tire size...although I think they'll work from what I've seen in another "lowering Z71" thread

Oh yea, guess I'll need some new shocks too...

 

they should ok, they may rub a little

 

Thanks again man, looks like I have a future plan...

Remove heavy-azz Pace Edward's tonneau cover and plastic bedliner, do a roll in liner, remove rear bumper and get a roll pan, remove spring clamps (maybe), Install hangers, new shocks, de-crank keys, shave or replace bump stops (I like the Belltech stuff that Trever1t got), and align...then I should be good to go

Now to find some money lol
