It was even worse when the front was dropped, before the back.

I have never heard the Magnaflows that I am aware of but I hear really great things about em nice mellow tone. Every Flowmaster I have heard or owned produced a noticeable cabin gain but If your gonna run your cats and run the exhaust out and away from the cab I don't see a problem with either brand.

mcboomport,
how much is that lowered?

[mcboomport]

4-3/4" Front (3" spindles, 1 coil cut)
6" Rear (flip kit, shackles) I can lower the rear another inch with the shackles, but I need to notch the frame first.

Mcboomport what kit is that and if u don't mind how much did it run u ? And 3" spindles clear the rallies

I bought the everything from Stylin Concepts. I think 3" DJM spindles were $280 shipped. The flip kit was about $100. I've had the shackles and front shocks for about 8 years, so that won't help ya cause I know stuff has increased about 30% since then. I've checked everywhere and Stylin Concepts still seems to be the cheapest.

As far as rubbing... I haven't driven it yet.. I've been working on the engine a bit, so I'll let ya know what I find out. I'm most likely putting my Bonspeed sweeps on it for a bit. I know they wont rub.

Oh.... Actually... I won't be able to answer that rubbing question.. I've had the spindles for about 5 years on an older truck of mine... I did some grinding on the spindle to clear the 15" wheels I had at that time. But.. I have run 15" cragars with no rubbing issues on other DJM spindles.
