GMracer had his 4x4 slammed before his little project and he said the 4x4 worked fine!

yeah it'll work fine. the CV angles are no different than guys that lift their trucks. the CVs just point up instead of down.

Yep, they are actually closer to stock than most lifted trucks, esp mine with just drop keys decranked. Mine looks mostly stock just flipped upside down.

I think you would have a hard time driving it because of it being so low before you had a hard tiem with cv's because of it being so low.

I paid around a bill shipped for my mcgaughys keys. You can use Chevy HD keys too(purple keys I believe) but Im not sure if that gives you as much drop as aftermarket keys.
