spindle install ?

[cochino12]

I've done a whole bunch of spindle installs on square body's as well as obs pickups but never on a 99-06. Anything I need to know or any tips before I get started? Thanks

I'm getting ready to do a 2/4 on my 03 silverado rcsb and it all looks the same to me. Basically the same as my obs..

Yep, not bad at all. Those lower ball joints took some convincing to separate though. Did you get yours done? Crappy cell phone pic of mine

Looks good!

No I didn't get mine done yet , I bought mcgaughys 2/4 kit with the 16+ spindles and you have to re-locate the lower b/j ... I didn't know it at the time ... so now I'm just going to buy the 17" belltech spindles... those are a direct swap....

Did you do hanger/shackles, was it a biatch?

I went with Mcaughys (sp) 17" spindles, flip and cnotch. I still need to finish the air supply for my helpers so I can raise the rear an inch. Crew cab hangers are welded from the factory so I was kind of forced into the flip kit

Ya, forgot about the crew cab being welded. I would have went 4/6 again, but I'm getting to the point I don't want to cut frame anymore.

Your CC looks classy, just love the stance .

Thank you I really like the way it turned out. I agree I feel like I'm to old to be cutting frames... but these trucks just dont seem to want to get low without a whole lot of work. Cleaned it up a bit

Thank you, I've wanted a nbs ccsb and found a great deal on this one in town finally. The wheels are 22" replica Denali wheels. I'll whore another picture since my team is kicking butt right now haha.
