What else do I need to complete my drop?
What else do I need to complete my drop?
I ordered the 2 in belltech drop spindles for the front and western chassis front hangers and shim kit for the rear. I already have 2 or 3inch drop shackles. Is there anything else I should get?
Thanks
Thanks
If you have not changed front springs The dropped spindles (we need pics of these) should not change shock travel or sway bar locations.
The rear is going to need at least shock extenders and shorter sway links to bring the bar as close to level as you can get. I just drilled new holes higher up on the frame rail. mine may not be as low in the back as yours (Hotchkis rear springs)

Thanks for all the help!
endlinks for sure both front and rear
Shock extenders or shorter shocks out back.
Don't forget the bumpstops also. Either replace or trim them.

I just called socal the said they only make the rear endlinks. who sells the front?
i order the endlinks, shock extenders (socal still sells them!), and shorter bump stops
now i just need to order some new shocks. I am thinking maybe the rousch bilsteins because of the issues I heard with the qa-1 plus i doubt i will ever use the adjustability of them.
There are really no issues with the QA-1's. The issues are with users. They turn too many clicks on them and they break. I mean you really have to crank on them too, to go past the first click or past the 12th one. They are awesome for drag strip and road racing.
