Alright tell me about your personal experiences with drop control arms. I am looking for 2". Tell if it is worth it or should i get spindles. I know spindles are better but i have my reasons for not wanting to go that route.

 

I love my DJM LCA. I have used spindles, not the new Maug or Bell style. Don't see my self going back to spindles.

 

I have also used the DJM control arm 2" drop. I was very happy with them.

 

sounds great guys thanks. i was looking at djm. i kinda need new ball joints and upper ones are really hard to find. so new control arms sounds better. ...........um not to rag you vortec but you do know that it's 325 not 327, right?

 

What are your reasons for not wanting to go with spindles? It can't be the cost issue, because they're cheaper.

 

i bought spindles once and did all the work and ruined my brake lines and almost killed myself. mainly like i said i need new ball joints but not even gm will sell me new upper joints. they say you have to buy the whole control arm they are 170 dollars a piece!!!!!! napa is the only place you can buy the ball joints and the ball joints there kinda suck. i have them on my truck. oh yeah by the way my spindles were of really crappy quality. i hate aim.

 

did you guys upper and lower control arms or just lower?

 

The OBS Belltech spindles were junk. Don't let that one bad experience turn you off on spindles.

I have had the McGaughys spindles for almost two years with zero issues and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to drop their truck. I've never heard of any problems with them. They won a SEMA award in 2003....it's unheard of for GM to give anyone an award for modifying their stock suspension, so it is obvioiusly a quality piece.

Now DJM control arms, on the other hand, I have heard of them breaking...

 

uh oh i don't like breaks. oh yeah McGaughy's are great i understand. yeah i just went looking around and if i do decide to lower it again I think McG's spindles are the way i'm going. i just need to find new ball joints...i guess

 

Just lower
