To Lower or Not - 3/22/2008 12:52:51 PM    roadking954   Posts: 8 Joined: 10/14/2007 Status: offline I have seen several o5 Qc lowered but which is the best kit? I would like to drop the rear enough to be even with the front, just do not want to slam it. Any suggestions? I also have two, still in the wrapper owner manual kits for the 2006 if any one needs them. Post #: 1

RE: To Lower or Not - 4/5/2008 8:04:51 AM    roadking954   Posts: 8 Joined: 10/14/2007 Status: offline Xmetal.com has a great lowering kit for the QC except you have to relocate the rear diff on the springs and then use the supplied shackles to fine tune it. Then you also need to check drive shaft pinion angle or the vibrations will shake you out of the truck.Would like to find a simplier solution. Anybody know of one for a QC ?
