Default Anyone running Mcgaughys lower kit

So I am about to bite the bullet on lower my truck with a 2/4 kit. Anyone running McGaughys lowering kit? If so, do you like the overall quality and how was the installation? Any help would be great, thanks!

long run the leafs sag and you will get more axle twist with them vs stock. 60 foots will suffer also.

Many chevy guys run them. Don't see anyone complaining. DJM and belltech are also very well know and great products. Plus a distributer is right here in your thread to get you a good deal and any support you might need.

Well do you offer a 2/4 kit? This is not a race truck so not worried about 60 foot times, those days are behind me but go info to know. Thanks for any help.

before i set up ANY kit locally or on our forum heres few things i need

1) measure the truck from ground to fenderlip all around
2) check to see if it has a lifting block in rear and if it does how thick it is. Ive seen variances in block thickness

ok 36.25 front/37 rear

you can do 2/2 which would bring it to 34.25/35

You want it lower?
