drop spindles or drop hangers?
Ya I'm gunna be dropping my truck pretty soon, a 2/4 drop, and I was wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of spindles? Also pros and cons of lower control arms? I know u have to get a front end alignment with the LCAs, but anything else? Also anything bad about spindles? Thx

You have to get an alignment either way. Spindles usually give a better ride than LCA's. Some spindles you can only run 17" or bigger wheels. The spindles for 16" wheels increase turning radius.

I changed my suspension this past weekend on my 01 Tahoe. I had the DJM **** on it that had the lower control arms. I bought the Mcgaughys 2/3 kit and the ride and handleing is like night and day. The bumpsteer with the LCA was just crazy going over railroad tracks at about 25-30 mph the steering wheel would damn near jump out of my hand. Now going over the same tracks it feels like stock . The DJM shocks are crap for 50.00 each. I changed shocks out a couple times due to them being blown. The Mcgaughys parts are better designed IMO. I would highly recommend Mcgaughys parts. The ride quality is perfect. No more bounce and the horrible ride is now gone.
