Lowered Crew Cab on 22's
I had my 06 Silverado crew cab lowered 4/6 on 22's with 265/35/22 tires. It was spindles and springs in front and flip and notch in the rear with all new shocks, I'm not sure of the brand of the kit though.
Anyway, It still rides really good. The front turned out a bit lower than the front, but it looks fine to me I don't mind that. The shop that lowered it also do alignments, they said they can't get all of the negative camber out of the front with it this low. It drives good and does not pull to one side either. Should I worry about some slight negative camber? Or should I try to raise the front an inch with some 1 inch coil spacers and then see if it aligns better? I am tucking a bit of tire. This shop uses those laser alignment machines, maybe those don't do as well on slammed vehicles. Here's a few pics, I really like how it turned out, it almost looks a bit lower than 4/6. http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps04226aec.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...psb86ed0f1.jpg |

Looks good.
What did you do about drive shaft clearance? |

The stock one worked fine apparently, I'm not sure if they just notched for clearance a few more places or what. It drives/rides really good, no weird vibrations or anything. |

Usually on the crew cabs, you have to notch the crap out of the crossmembers or run a 2-piece driveshaft out of an extended cab truck.
Keep an eye on it, if you put alot of weight on it, or pull a heavy load. |

how far in is the camber? if its not too bad then just keep your tires rotated every 3k

The guy on the Belltech tech support told me as long as my toe is set correct, the bit of camber will be ok. |
Re: Lowered Crew Cab on 22's
Negative camber will still wear the inside edge of the front tires.
Just don't be surprised how fast they wear. There aren't many "off the shelf" wheels available, that will tuck inside those front fenders,... except custom ordered billet wheels. |
