McGaughy's 2/4 Economy drop

BMRbrnSNRbrd · Dec 10, 2010

So who's running the McGaughy's 2/4 Economy drop? I've got one on the way and I'm curious to see the results on other trucks.

i think copperhead is running a similar drop...

BMRbrnSNRbrd · Dec 10, 2010

I think he's a little lower...something like a 3/5.

Copperhead · Dec 15, 2010

I have the economy drop and the spindles along with a coil cut from the rear springs...... 4/5.... a little lower...

I can't seem to upload pics....

I have some of just the 2/4.

I love the stance CH, looks like I've got my drop figured out.

Copperhead · Feb 9, 2011

Stock height and then just the 2/4 with 22" Nightrunner SRT10 wheels

Copperhead · Feb 9, 2011

The 22" tires are the same height, so the comparison is pretty good.

And with a 4/5

I like the way it looks I think I'm going with the 2" drop...

that is a beautiful truck.

Copperhead,
Since you installed the McG 2/4 drop yourself, do you think it will work with a 4x4?

When I did the 2/4 drop on my 05 4x4, the only thing I had to alter, was to notch the spindle to fit the lower control arm. Lemme know what you think! I'd rather go with the McG spindle kit, then beltech's coil only drop.

I think there's quite a bit of difference on how the 4wd and 2wd trucks are setup on the 4th gens. BTW, for anyone who cares, I did end up dropping the truck with the cheap McGaughy's 2/4 drop:

Before:

After:

Damn BBSB! Looks hot! how does it ride? Just as good? Better?

BMRbrnSNRbrd · Feb 20, 2011

Depends on what you consider better. While I liked how it rode stock like a luxury car, I like more of a "sport" feel. It definitely stiffened it up a bit, but it's nothing near how bad my 2004 rode when it was dropped.

Hey David, I was looking at the same drop kit, but they only currently have one for 2009. It worked for your 2010, do you think anything changed from 2009 to 2011? Wanna make sure it will work for mine.

OklaHemi · Mar 4, 2011

best bet would be to call them trup. there shouldnt be suspension changes that close in years

Trupiano · Mar 5, 2011

Good idea! I also wanna ask them about the 4x4. If I'll have to notch them like before.

mitchman · Mar 12, 2011

David, on a scale of 1-10, can you rate the original ride and the current ride? I love the smooth ride, and I don't want to (for lack of better term) **** it up.
A little stiff is ok, but if it rides like a 3500 then I don't like it.

BMRbrnSNRbrd · Mar 13, 2011

Original ride (considering it's a truck) was a 10 for me...now...7 on a bad day (or Oklahoma road.) Really, it's not that bad at all and I'm still on stock shocks and tires. I think a drop and then some aftermarket, and much better (which by comparison isn't hard with the GYs) tires will easily bring it back up to an 8-8.5.
