I can't get caster/camber back in spec with just keys alone. I'll eventually go with the djm arms. For the rear I'm not sure I want to stay as low as I am now its a true 3/5. I guess it will depend on what the 20's will look like when I get them

You have any pics of yours with the 3/5?

With the help of my good friend Josh Chambers (chambersj on here), I lowered the rear of mine about 2 more inches last night. It now measures about 4.75" between the top of the tire and the top of the wheel well opening both front and rear. While we were doing it, we also raised the shackle hangers a couple of inches so they don't hang down below the bottom of the roll pan. I'm not sure if anyone else that has a roll pan on their truck has noticed it, but it has always bothered me to see the bottom of those ugly shackle hangers sticking down below everything. It looks so much better now. It also rides much better. I highly recommend putting the front spring hanger brackets in. I'm posting a pic, but please try not to pay too much attention to how filthy my truck is. I don't have much time during the day to wash it, and my weekends have been pretty busy lately.

Did you raise both front and rear hangers? If I decide to go lower I might just raise my hangers like you did and LCAs in the front. Is your front stock just lowered torsion bars?

Gonna sell my drop spindles if anyone wants them 125 shipped

what spindles are they? what are you getting?

If they are McGaughy's their name is cast into the face of the spindle along with the 17" wheel requirement. Some aftermarket 17" wheels do not work and you have grind the lower ball joint stud partially off and install their modified nut with the Hummer wheels, if in doubt call them like I did......

Sent a few PM's back and forth with chevy1925 about lowering and lifting 2 inches by adjusting the torsion keys and this came up...

FYI

one thing alot of guys overlook when lowering or lifting their truck is the loosening of the LCA mount bolts and UCA mount bolts until set to ride height, then retighten. guys dont realize the bushing put under tension when you move the suspension height to somewhere else besides stock. leaving them loose allows them to be in a "neutral" position when set to the desired ride height and the bushings will last a much longer life span.
