4/6 drop

[dailydragger]

I want a 4/6 drop on my silverado, but i will be running 15 inch stockers for a while. i know with djm kit i have to get 17s or bigger to use there spindle, but that unfortantly that is not in the budget right now. Is belltech's kit the same way? if so what are my options? i know this subject has been discused already but i just need s straight to the point answer as i don't want any suprises when i get it on and it doesn't work. On a side note i have a 93 ecsb

Anyone???

What about sport direct kits are they any good?? What about western chasis spindles are they ok or do i need to run a 17 inch wheel for these too

i got the beltech 4/6 and the only problem i ran into with runing 15s is that the rim will rub on the lower control arm, i drive a 96 two door tahoe and i had to knotch the control arm because i coulnt turn verry much before the rims rubbed on them.

All 3 companies make great stuff....but like mentioned above all you'll have to do is trim the gutters on the lower control arms for the 15's....maybe roll the fenders also depending on your tire size and rim backspacing.

Even if i run the djm spindles all i need to do is trim the gutters an the lca and i will be able to run 15s for a while

Yup! Hell, i run 15's all year long. :looking:

wow im installing my 4/6 DJM drop kit on my 93 im gonna be running front control arms with coils with stock wheels, im glad i read this. I didnt know about trimming anything. How much trimming are we talking about?

[diadora516]

i trimmed about 4" or so on the LCA's. this worked with the 454ss wheels i have but the stock steelies were different for some reason. only one wheel rubbed at full right...wonder if the backspacing was different? when i get out of class i can post some pictures

So i have DJM control arms with a drop coil, do i need to trim the DJM control arm still? Im using stock spindles.

No. There aren't any gutters on a tubular control arm.
