2009-18 vs 2019-23

[CalifPhil]

Is there much difference in these two groups?

I recently bought a 2019 express , seems most sources for parts or accessories stop at 2018. Called McGaughys suspension and asked if their drop spindles would fit my 2019 and they had no clue. Asked if he could find out for me and he said I would have to buy them and try it. That was a lazy answer.
Be interesting to know what all is different between a 2018 vs 2019.

I believe 2019 is when the 5th gen came out and the 4th gen became the classic. Anything that fits the 4th gen should fit yours without issue.

Any 19+ CLASSIC is going to be the same as a 2018.

A 19+ Warlock will be the same as well, but the front clip will be Rebel stuff.

The dropped spindles will fit on you're 2019 Express Classic.They will push the wheels out roughly 3/8" ,and if you have 17" rims you'll have to trim the lower ball joint stud,if you have 20" rims,you're good to go. They are cast iron,so will be noticably heavier then your stock cast aluminium spindles.Pro's : easier to change then springs / easier to wheel align,and won't have bump steer like a spring drop can create

There's another group there: 2009-2012. 2013 was a mid-model "refresh". A lot is different between the two. Different front end (not just looks), many new electronic changes/improvements.

Thanks , that is great information, still trying decide between the spindles and the Beltech 2/4 kit. Good to know I have a choice.

The spindles are way easier to do,then a spring swap,lol.

I’m comfortable doing either, do like the fact that the spindle option uses factory length shocks. Leaning towards the the McGaughys kit

It also wheel aligns to factory specs.
