I have some concerns about lowering my truck. It is a 2011 Sierra crew cab. I removed the factory 1" block so the truck sits level right now (well 1/2" higher in the back).
I just purchased the McGaughy adjustable kit 34070 that includes drop spindles, adjustable struts, and a flip kit. Ideally, I would like to do a 4/4 to keep it level. Maybe a 4/5.
If I want to drop the front 4”, will I mess up the CV joints or wear them out prematurely? What concerns do I need to know about going lower than 2” with 4wd on a NNBS?
What is the lowest I can go in the back without needing a notch or helper bags? I would like to tow a mini truck on a trailer a couple times a year. Will 4” be ok or will I bottom out a lot without a notch? Do I need helper bags with a 4" drop?
Last question, will I need the belltech transmission shim since I have a crew cab?
I posted a couple days ago in some older threads, but I haven't received any replies. The threads are fairly old (sticky), so I thought I might get better responses with a new one.
