How does the spindle look when you look down the side of the truck. I like drop spindles over coils but i dont know about it pushing the tire out. Any one run spacers on the back. Im so ready to lower and 22s on mine. Moe im going to jack your truck just joking that thing is bad a**

After a 2/4 drop are the upper and lower control arms required to center the wheels? Or...will just the lower control arms work? Asking because they are expensive. If I could get away with just the lowers, that would be great.

They're not necessary at all after the drop, it's up to you whether the wheels moving forward bothers you enough to justify the cost.

It would be nice to see all lowered 4th gens in one section, especially since I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2/4 drop but am undecided as to which one to buy.

Soo. PICTURES? :)

Here's mine got it done yesterday. Belltech 2/4 on 22" rt wheels

You'll need both if you decide to go that route.

^^^What he said, not only will lowers not do all that much pushing it back on their own but it will throw your pinion angle quite a bit off as well. If you are going to get the arms uppers and lowers is the only way to go.

Thanks for the responses, based on cost I think I'll wait to get the control arms.

I decided to wait also. I took before and after pics and mine just done seem to have shifted forward hardly any if all. Wish I would have measured.

Damn I've been trying to find wheels in a gray like that and kinda rediculous to find. That would look awesome.
