Static NNBS (GMT-900 07-13)

Static NNBS (07-up)

Wanting to go 1" lower front and rear.

Current setup (07 NNBS 2wd):
DJM 2" lower arms
McGaughys 2" spindles
DJM rear flip

Should I go with Belltech or McGaughys 1" lowering coils? What do I do about the rear? I'm using factory hangers.

Your truck looks like 5" in front compared to mine, I am 4" using belltech struts and spindles.

Just cut some coil. No need to spend money for an extra inch. Unless you're one of them that thinks cutting coils is "hack"

Hmmm maybe cause I never measured, I have BT Adjust struts at 0, BT 2" Coils, and BT 2" Spindles
You got pics of yours?

Ah, ok the coils must have something to do with it then. My struts are set @ 2" and I have 2" spindles, all belltech.

The yard makes it look like the front is higher, but it sits pretty level.

I like to keep all the stock parts so that it can go back to stock height if the next owner wants to when I sell it. Now it's between coils and belltech struts. Would the ride be a lot better on struts than 1" drop coils?
 
I had relocator, spindles and cut some coil for a 5" drop. I couldn't tell a difference in ride quality

The struts will give you the option to change from -2" to +2" in 1/2" increments. Can't lose! What if 1" isn't low enough or too low w coil?
A lot of work for nothing IMO

:word: that's what I've been thinking. I guarantee I'll want to go lower again in the future.

You positive it's at set right up front? Mine has a tiny bit of Cali, especially with a tank full of gas.
 
So you have belltech struts or McG relocators?

Edit: My 4/7 never sat level either. I went up to 4/6 for level then down to 5/7
