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.

Curious if you recieved a response from Belltech and what they had to say about the transmission spacer/4WD/vibration issue?

 

Thanks

Yes, the part number 6521-774 (parts included in the flip kit) is just the solution they say. So the items include bolts and 4pcs washers. I was wandering as to why they provided us with 4pcs washer instead of 2 thicker washers. Well, I guess it may depend on how low we drop the rear. Since I still had the u-bolt washers with me from the Belltech shackles (6401) I installed before the flip kit,  so I decided to use them and it works perfectly. I just had so much difficulty when using the Belltech provided longer bolts so I ended up using the stock bolts. Now the vibration is fixed.

 

 

....4pcs aluminum spacers..I should say

3/5, I suppose.

 

But maybe these measurements will be more useful to you...from the center of the hub to the lip of the fender....front is 19” and the rear is 20”.

 

Note that these pics were taken right after the install and the driveway is going upward so with the truck being parked.

 

I just noticed that after a while of driving, the front is now a bit lower thus has settled already., in fact just now, I took those measurements I mentioned above.. Perfect for my liking, The 275/55/20 stock tires are not rubbing even when making full turns. Really close but still with just enough clearance from the fender lining. Note, if I were to buy 22’s later, I will seriously be considering to use the 285/40/22 tires over the 45 profile.

 

hope these info helps.

I'm just wondering if anyone has paired a coilover with djm 4" control arms ?? Wanting to go another inch down in the front ,but I want to do some ride improvement at the same time. Didn't have a good experience with the drop struts that are out there.

Can I ask what brand etc. wheels those are? Look like the factory machined and painted grey but in 24"?

Hi guys! New to the forum here. Just picked up a 2018 Silverado Crew cab standard bed few weeks ago. Looking to do a 4/6 drop with DJM kit. I’ll be using it to haul my bikes to the track. I want to get a helper bags for it but can’t really find a solid answer on what brand and model I should go with. I see some people run the McGaughy’s helper bags but I don’t see one for 2014+ models. I also saw air lift got a kit out (model 59209) but I did some research on it and people are saying it doesn’t fit The truck. Even though the site said it does. So if anyone can give me a pointer on what brand and model I need I woulda really appreciated.

Also is there anyone out there running DJM 4/6 kit on their crew cab and standard bed? Does the axle hit the frame often even without any load in the back ?

Thank you for any input. [emoji482][emoji482][emoji482]

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
