Ya, I know that, thats why I said I don't know what year his is. He's never specified unless you look at the ebay link, which wasn't there when I started to post, I was just showing those kit's I've found for my truck. They should be pretty similar to what he'll need for a NBS.

Thanks for the responses guy's.....I ordered 2" drop spindles and hangers for the rear so I guess I am ready to rock! Hopefully my truck isnt to low with two inches in the front, I have some big ole tires on there. I ordered my stuff from springtech from ebay, Is this good quality stuff or will I kick myself for not going with mcgauphys stuff or however you spell it.

How "big" are your tires?

I'm running 285/50/20s (front) and 305/50/20s (rear), and I have a 3" drop front and 5" drop rear.

If you have large tires, the thing you WILL want to do is replace the bump stops with stiffer versions and make sure your shocks are good. I had a problem over big dips in the road, the front end would over compress and the tire would rub (very light) the inner fender (it never hurt anything though).

Check out the pic....it is stock ride height there....they are 275/60/17 that look like a big balloon on there.....I just mounted a couple other 275/60/17's on the rear and they arent near as big, dont understand that but anyway they are goodyear eagle gtII

Dont they look awful close to the fender already?

sounds great! Kit should be here thursday! Thanks for the compliment on the truck! I cant get a wheel and tire combo on it that I like yet though. Like to have some 18x9.5 wheels on it but have not found the right deal yet.

Well I installed the spindles last night....passenger side lower ball joint was a bisly but I fonally got it with an 8lb sledge hammer! lol yea I have never seen a ball joint froze that bad in one. Anyway got it all finished and was ready to bolt the wheels on and let er down on the ground to see how I liked it and **** the wheels wouldnt go on due to the shank and nut from the lower ball joint. I cut some of it off and they still wont go! I am gonna do some more to it tonight so I can get the wheels on it. I have 17" wheels but I think they are really thick on the backside and are more like a 16" wheel. That sucks too, I have to have this thing finished tonight so I can take it on the power tour tomorrow to Somerset, KY. I still have the hangers in the rear to do! How bad are they?

To run the 17" wheels with the drop spindles you have to cut that ball joint stud nearly flush with the nut. I used the included lock washer and loctite on my suburban just to be safe, then staked the nut with a chisel. The hangers shouldn't take too long since you don't have to do the carrier bearing. To get the rivet heads out I took a die grinder and cut an X into the rivet head, then air chiseled the heads off. You might have to move the gas tank over to get to some of the hanger bolts, but its not that hard. Youre looking at a few hours of work.
