Probably, but that would require effort lol

I need to get my coilovers in. I'm having the exhaust done this weekend and my new rupes pilisher shows so you know I have to test it out. I'm hoping to get the coilovers in next weekend. Also I'm ordering new wheels in the next month

finally got my drivers side front clunking noise issue fixed, by installing belltech front lowering struts part#25004 and also reinstalling the stock springs and removing the drop springs that came with my CROWN lowering kit. truck is riding a lot better. the only issue i have now is, that im getting more front end rubbing when wheels at full lock, than before due to the fact that the truck is sitting a little lower than before. I want the truck sitting level, so now i have to address that problem. either lower the back so more or raise the front a 1/2 inch. THIS IS BEFORE

SO your noise was a blown strut?

Is the belltech strut at the lowest setting? The strut is all you used to lower the front? I ask bc I need to install mine, and am wondering if I should only lower it an inch.

Thanks

I looked through 100+ pages and didn’t find anything on helper bags. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough but does anyone have a 2/4 drop with helper bags? I’m currently leveled with drop shackles but want to do a 2/4 drop.

Will it work with a 2/4 flip kit? Do you have a part number and how much are you looking to get?

Anyone lower then 2/5 on stock size tires without getting a bunch of rubbing?

Im considering adding spindles and going to 3/6 or 4/6 but im running 285/45/22 on 22x9.5 +24mm wheels, and i would rather stay at my current drop then go to a smaller tire.

My current drop is 2/5 (Belltech shocks/flip kit) right now and have no rubbing, but its definitely close to the fender liner on the front..

also anyone having issues with 4x4 on a 4/6 drop, that needs to work with our winters here! haha

I am currently using 275/55/20 stock tires and rims. Belltech spindles and struts. My struts are set with 2pcs of 8mm spacers (16mm) on the passenger side while the driver’s side at 24mm(or 3pcs of the 8mm spacers). From the lip of the rim, it measures 7.5”. To answer your question, I haven’t experienced any rubbing so far. Or say, with my normal driving, so far no rubbing at all. By the way, I have a 4x4 rcsb too.

I think I may have a very slight vibration off the start but will be a totally smooth drive after. Is this the “small vibration” that a lowered truck that most of you guys are talking? The Belltech flip kit comes with the transmission spacer, though it says in the instruction for 2WD only(I’m 4WD) so I am wandering if this is the spacer for that regardless.

I know now some of our guys here uses the same Belltech parts. May I know anyone experiencing the same and did you use the spacer or what.

i am on a 3.5” / 5” set up.

I feel this same vibration that you are experiencing. I want to put a spacer in, I wish belltech gave you one for the 4x4 that didn't consist of stacked washers.

I sent an email to Belltech just a while ago. Provided them the details. Hope to receive some feedback from them next week. I also brought up the rear shocks 2210FF ride quality in a RCSB. To my taste, I feel that the shocks are a bit stiffer. I asked them for any suggestions/alternative shocks , if they have.

Tbis is normal I think. I've had it the whole time I've had my truck lowered. No matter what just off the start its slight for a second and then it stops
