Re: Torque values - Swapping Spindles Mcgaughty

true07esv, Sorry you may have misinterpreted the thread but I wasn't complaining about the Mcgaughty lowering kit being crap. I would much rather lower the truck using spindles than lowering springs as it would still have the same suspension travel and not affect the camber. The installation was not difficult what so ever. The front took a couple of hours and the rear took less than 30 min.

I was just merely wondering if anyone knew what to torque the bolts at. Having said that, I tourqed them as I mentioned earlier and I have had no problems. The truck has been driving fine, straight and not bouncy. I was having some issues with the rear being bouncy but it was fixed by rebending the sensor rod a slight bit less.

Overall I am very pleased with the the Mcgaughty kit and would recommend it to others in a heart beat. I have no comment on the Eibach kit as I haven't seen one.

Re: Torque values - Swapping Spindles Mcgaughty

I did my research before doing my suspension... and everyone I called and spoke to recommended Mcgaughys over Eibach, G-Force and the other top brand names in lowerin kits... Thats why I went with Mcgaughys and love it.

No problem bud....it was my mistake, I was just trying to help.....my bad. For a minute there I thought you had some issues. Don't get me wrong, I believe that Mcgaughty is one of the best....Eibach is probably not but by far it's easy to deal with....no headaches. Install and roll. Thanks bud
