Do it it's 2017. Things need to be lower now

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".

Yea I had a quick glance at it, doesn't look terrible to do, just have to drop the hitch and gas tank

You don't have to drop the gas tank if you have an extra hand. You have 1 guys twist the axle a bit. And the other guy pull the leaf and slip it under the axle

Are your mcg struts from the 07-13 trucks? Don't see any listed for the new style

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

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. Magnaflow 14" muffler, Airaid MIT tube/filter, tint, stubby antenna.
