I have had these Spindles for about a month now and the ride is awesome... However, I did loose some turning radius on my Crew Cab. This really sucks and it's even more noticeable when trying to get into tight parking spaces... I am actually considering taking them off and getting me some drop coil springs.

 

I had heard that about the McGuaghy's from a member here, which is why I went with the Belltechs. I have not noticed any change with them.
Drop coils change the ride a bit?

 

Yeah, I've only heard bad things about the McGaughy's. I'm going with the belltech spindles myself.

I thought the word around was that Mcgaughys was the best you could buy.....

Ive heard bad things about the belltech spindles

 

I am running the McGaughys with Hotchkis 2' drop coils and did not loose any of my turning radius.

 

i lost some turning radius too with my mcgaughys spindles but to me its really no big deal.

 

I lost a noticable amount of turning radius with my mcgaughy spindles, as well! It is a bit annoying, but I love the ride quality much better over the DJM arm's bumpsteer!

Lower control arms are an option if your ride has coil springs. You can get a 2" lower control arm and not lose any turning radius. You retain your factory springs and shock as well. There are some bump steer issues though. I dont think a 2" spring is going to ride better though.

 

So is the belltech spindle better than the mcgaughys?

 

Turning radius sucks as is... No thank you to spindles for me.
