Arrow Any Local Members LA/SCV/IE/OC With Drop Kit Install Experience

I have 2008 Silverado Ex-Cab 2wd that I purchased a few months ago, and now I'd like to drop it.

I bought the complete McGaughys 34070 5/7 kit. If it was a simple strut swap I could do it myself, however, I have no experience installing the flip kit, or spindles, ball joints, etc.

Are there any experienced members willing to give me a hand? I'll pay, bring beer, etc. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, I can hold my own.

I have a good compressor (my air tools aren't the greatest) large jack, jack stands, grinder, cut off wheels, decent tools, etc.

Or, I could bring the truck to your place, shop, shade tree.

Again, not looking for a freebie I can throw some cash and get my hands dirty, too.


Anyone want to help a brother out?

If you still need it done take it to Trader's trucks in Santa Fe Springs they do great work.

Nice! No I haven't, yet. Still need a couple more parts. Figured since I'm going to put all the new suspension parts in might as well replace the ball joints too.

Bought a new hand gun too, haha. That was from the drop fund and I couldn't pass it up.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give them a ring.

No not yet, and I don't think Traders is in biz anymore? Check their website. They're last site update was 11/03/2010 and the number is no longer in service.
