What components are everyone using for a 4/6 NBS 4x4
 
What are most of you guys running for a 4/6 on a nbs 4x4? As of right now im going with spindles and keys, with a flip kit, Belltech SP shocks all around, notch etc. I have lower arms on my tahoe and I dont really like how that handles up front, but I heard that arms and spindles are the way to go for a 4"..any help on that?

I started with McGaughy spindles and lowering keys and the ride was terrible. I removed the keys and installed DJM upper and lowers and the ride is much better. It does have bump steer now though.

I would do just what you said. Keys and spindles.

I didn't like the control arms on mine.

Im not sure what to do. I cant run my stock 16s on the belltech 2508 spindles apparently and i wont be getting wheels yet until i get the motor and stuff done.

I have the lower arms on my tahoe now and im not in love with them, but i can tolerate it. Plus going with the upper and lower arms is actually cheaper for me because i dont have to replace balljoints on what i have now, or bushings or anything.

can anyone confirm the deal with running 16" wheels with the bellteach 2508 spindles? Ive read that with Mcgaughys spindles you can run 16s if you cut the bj threads after they are torqued on the spindle but you loose some turning radius with them.
