DemoN said above the McGughys had corrected. Is that not the case? Ordered their kit would be the easiest but if I need to piece together a kit I can.

Not that I am aware of but maybe possible.

Ehhh, I am hearing people doing this. You shouldn't have to. The McG's kit is just recycled parts from the 07-13. Belltech corrected the pinon angle and centered the rear wheels by designing a new flip kit.

from what i understand from McGs is that they've replaced the flipkit and solved this issue? i haven't had any vibration issues.

those tires are huge tech1451 ....but a 3/5 should clear.

Thanks. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the 34170 kit if they've corrected the issue. Hopefully I won't have to shorten the drive shaft and the alignment come in ok.

I was going to start at 3/5" and hope that clears the tires. Then when it comes time for tires I'll probably go lower.

If anyone else have installed this kit please feel free to chime in.

I want to do a 3/5 on my 14 sierra but looking at pics seems like it will not be level with the front so should I go 3/6 ?

yes maam

 

[TheSuspensionSource]

What part number??

 

[DemoN]

What part number??

unsure, sadly. i'll have to check which one they ordered. is there a flip kit that will force the rear to sit higher? i'm sorry...i have a McGs kit.

Having the correct flip kit should get you the look in that photo. He is using just the straight 7" flip kit. Part number 6526

so the rear on mine looks right to you with the McG's 6" drop? that's something at least lol i could add 1" drop shackles in the future then.

 

[TheSuspensionSource]

Drop shackle with the 5" to 6" flip kit wouldn't lower you. It would lift you. You would want to remove the hanger and put your OE one back on.

with these drop kits do the after-market front struts get rid of the under dampened feeling the front end has on these trucks?

 

[TheSuspensionSource]

I do feel as if the factory struts are much softer than the Belltech struts.

 

[5speedsilverado]

ok, and how do those compare to my last truck that had the silver mcgaughys shocks? i loved the way that thing rode

 

[TheSuspensionSource]

The dyno sheet I saw showed the shocks like this

Belltech: Stiffer than OEM
OEM: Soft
McG: Softer than OEM
