Arrow Any Local Members LA/SCV/IE/OC With Drop Kit Install Experience

I have 2008 Silverado Ex-Cab 2wd that I purchased a few months ago, and now I'd like to drop it.

I bought the complete McGaughys 34070 5/7 kit. If it was a simple strut swap I could do it myself, however, I have no experience installing the flip kit, or spindles, ball joints, etc.

Are there any experienced members willing to give me a hand? I'll pay, bring beer, etc. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, I can hold my own.

I have a good compressor (my air tools aren't the greatest) large jack, jack stands, grinder, cut off wheels, decent tools, etc.

Or, I could bring the truck to your place, shop, shade tree.

Again, not looking for a freebie I can throw some cash and get my hands dirty, too.


Anyone want to help a brother out?

If you still need it done take it to Trader's trucks in Santa Fe Springs they do great work.




Did my truck back in 07 ... 100,000 miles and no issues

Nice! No I haven't, yet. Still need a couple more parts. Figured since I'm going to put all the new suspension parts in might as well replace the ball joints too.

Bought a new hand gun too, haha. That was from the drop fund and I couldn't pass it up.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give them a ring.

No not yet, and I don't think Traders is in biz anymore? Check their website. They're last site update was 11/03/2010 and the number is no longer in service.
