Anybody know which is better for more drop? purple keys or belltech/other brands???
I have Belltech keys, and I'm pretty sure that they're pretty much the same as purple keys. I was able to get about 3" lower in the front.

I have a silverado ss awd. I have Mcgaughy spindles in I'm not sure if I have new torsion keys. But I'm decranked almost all the way on the right and the I still have more to go.can I loosen them all the way to have maximum low appearance. Will it ruin anything on my truck? The rear is lowered probably with shackles but need to go another inch or two to match the front. How can I go lower in the rear aswell? CAn someone shoot me some info???
Should I wheel ailign my truck again? ??

I've got a 2014 Silverado CC 4x4 and I'm looking to lower it, McGaughy's said they didn't have rear spindles yet for new body styles and also said I could not go lower than 2"/4", then I checked Crown Suspension and they sell a 4"/6" drop for 4x4's, is this sketchy or should I stick with a 2"/4"?
