Drop spindles/hangers
I ordered some McGaughy's 2'' drop spindles and rear drop hangers,
Just wondering what you guys reccomend for new balljoints.??
I already have decranked stock keys in the front, and 2'' belltech drop shackles/removed block in the rear.
So anyway while im wrenching im going to replace all the ball joints, bushings ect., along with New shocks, also what do you lowered guys like for new shocks??
Any tips appreciated too, i was reading Billys thread on lowered 4x4's, and saw ShredSled flipped his stock upper A arms and installed the balljoints in reverse,Is this a good idea for me to do also?

Well finally got the correct spindles ( 33004T) , Stylin concepts fucked me twice by sending out 2 wheel drive spindles TWICE !!!, Had to get McGaughys involved and they got me the correct ones, Thanks McGaughy's !!! BOOOO Stylin Concepts you suck !
Any way someone before me put new Moog Joints/ tie rod ends on, after cleaning the grease away i saw them, Almost got the pass. side done, def going to have to grind / cut the lower ball joint threads off to clear my 17'' track wheels.
Crap cell pic,
Thank God for the new lift, really helped make this job sooo much easier!
I have the rear hangers installed Also( already had BT 2'' drop shackles/removed block), not too bad a job, the rivets i cut with my metabo grinder/cutoff wheel and i have a metabo end grinder/w carbide bits. This was the hardest part of the job.
Better pics to follow when she is done, i have to work when i can between kids and work!! Thats why my projects are always so slow! LOL
