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"?

 

Thanks

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]

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
