Quality Of Mcgaughys Drop Spindle???
I'm considering these spindles
#34037
I was curious on the quality of them. Im told I'll still be able to fit my 17" factory wheels for winter time. I usually like belltech but they're almost $130 more so thats why I was curious if theres an issue with these that they're so much cheaper

From what I understand you will loose some, if not a good amount of steering radius with spindles. My truck has lowering springs now and I am wanting to do stock springs and drop it in a different way for ride and getting rid of my bump steer. I am for sure going with DJM lower control arms to guarantee good ride and steering radius and for my 01 they are only $318.00 and worth the difference. Just my $.02

I currently have drop struts. I'm going to a 3/5 stance.
I've heard about that steering loss before too but I'm prepared to live with it unless I gotta 3-point to make a normal right hand turn.....haha

McGaughys are def high quality , they look identically to the stock spindles -the mounting ( drop) location . They also won a GM design award.
I did loose turning radius , might be able to grind a little and help it.
But the truck looks good with em so I'm happy lol .

I knew about cutting the lower ball joint stud to the nut for fitting, I was just making sure it'd still work with factory 17's. i'm hoping to order the spindles soon and have installed by new years
