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]
