2014+ Lowering / Drop Kits


Recommended Posts

Yea that's true.. Didn't realize how much work it was for that kit, not bad though... And i guess the shackles just allow you to go even lower?

read this if youre really wanting to do it. http://www.belltech.com/extras/docs/BBGC/6525-888.pdf

 

explains how the drop works and tells you the parts needed for a 4, 5, or 6" drop. Hell, get rid of the hanger and you could get 7".

Hi there,

I want also to be level with either side is easy to do, lower rear or lift front. So, I'm guessing lowering will be easier as I may need just to remove a rear leaf. Will it work? or I need something else?. THanks

This is not 1980. You do not remove leafs. Take the block out and add a lowering shackle. Should be level then

Easiest is summit but you can get a belltech or mcg shackle.anywjere. Even Amazon

 

Im checking in belltech website but I dont see 2500HD model listed just 1500. Will that still work? Would it matter the Z71 with the long box?

Haven't had a chance to wash it yet, but here is mine with Belltech 6401 kit (6400 shackles w/spacers for block removal). Glad I bought the 6401 kit. Was skeptical on the spacers, but they were narrower than the black so you're torquing on new threads and save a lot of extra turns. I didn't have air tools available this time. Didn't do the block removal on my 14 Sierra, but always wished I had, thought it would be lower in the back. On my 17 Silverado, I got 1.25" from the blocks and another 1.75" from the shackles. Thought I was gonna end up lower on the rear, but it was exactly 3" and I'm sitting at 36-36.125" at all 4 wheel wells. Funny thing is starting out right front was 0.5" higher than left front, but leveled out after lowering the rear? Right side is about 1/8" higher than left.
