Here’s mine with a 2” drop shackle to give you an idea. Bottom pic is with 24s on 395/35 tire. I’m looking into a 4/6 or 5/7 drop kit now. Just kinda undecided between MG or the Inez kit.

Hey guys,

2018 LT 2WD Double Cab (I'm used to calling it Extended Cab)

 

I want to lower the rear to level it out and it looks like Belltech Shackle Kit 6401 and removing the block is the way to go for me but I have a few questions before i tackle it...

  • The description from Belltech says "2" or 3" rear drop"... is there a 2" and 3" on this shackle?
  • Do I need spacers, different u-bolts, or anything else aside from this kit for this drop?
  • Will have a problem getting bolts out? Will I have to bend some metal out of the way? Drop the hitch? Or is this not the case on the 2018

Thanks for the help in advance.

2" is the shackles, 3" is shackles and block removed. The 6401 kit comes with spacers so you can use the original U-bolts after blocks are removed.

Thank you. 

 

Will any any modification be needed to get the bolts out?

2018 has stamped steel arms. So get upper arms as well.  If you had cast. Youd be ok without uppers

Bend the bed seam over above the shackles to get clearance.

If I recall right you'll also have to take the hitch off and there were a couple of tight angles to get bolts out.

Ya, you definitely have to drop the hitch

Yes, you have to drop the hitch, but that's not a modification...

My note was in response to his first post questions which were not answered.  In his first post he asked if he had to drop the hitch.  Thanks though.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      These show the problem and symptoms, and I explain things too. to clarify again, I did not change over any computers or wiring (with the exception of the map sensor). All of the computers and wiring are original to the 2010 vehicle   video 1 - background info/explanation and part of the problem   video 2, idle misfire   I think the reason that the MAP sensor is reading High is because the engine is misfiring so there is less vacuum...   Additionally there's a p0102 for the MAF low frequency, and a p0108 for the map high voltage.        Again, apologies for the somewhat long-winded explanation, it's a rather difficult problem to explain without going into the details.

      DFM Disabler

      By newdude · Posted

      You'd want the Pulsar to be safe.  That was the first product that worked for 10 speed trucks that they came out with.   Range Technology 22451 Pulsar LT for 2019-2022 GM Gas Trucks     That said, in the features description of the RA003B, it does list it working with 10 speeds.  However there are reports that the RA003B can cause some drivability issues on early 10 speeds.  So the Pulsar is the safest move IMO.      Range Technology RA003B AFM/DFM Disabler   Features: Range AFM/DFM Disabler keeps you in full power 100% of the time Simply plug into your onboard OBD-II port and it instantly begins working to eliminate the AFM system Disables Auto Start/Stop Blue LEDs The Range AFM/DFM Disabler does not reprogram factory ECU Works in hundreds of applications, 2007-2022, including 10-speed models. Leaves no trace, unplug it to return to factory settings Virtually no battery draw Fits all V6 and V8 General Motors (GM) active or dynamic fuel management vehicles, includes cars, trucks, and SUVs This device does not support the 2022.5+ Refresh model trucks or 2021+ SUVs To confirm your 2022 model truck is compatible with this unit, check your VIN. The 12th digit in an early model must be a '4' or lower Made in USA

      DFM Disabler

      By Oldgordo · Posted

      I have a 2019 new body style high country with a 6.2l L87 and a 10 speed transmission code MQB. Looking for a disabler that is compatible. Most show it’s not. I watched a video on utube from Dons Life that says Ranges RA003B is compatible but when you go to Ranges website and check compatibility it only has a 8L90 trans listed which is an 8 speed.  I don’t want to buy the wrong one. Anyone have any experience with this situation?

      This actually happened. Be careful where you get your information re: gas price trends.

      Needing this part.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I understand the principle...you don't want to spend $150 for a $0.02 piece of plastic or a little screw and perch thingy.   But this is a problem that looks like it can be reliably solved with a zip tie.   That might hold you over until you can score one at a pick-a-parts yard.
