To make up for the lean? I was thinking the same thing.

No   belltech makes 2" springs. You put the spacers with them it turns them into a 1" spring

Did you use the supplied spring spacers?

I'm sure tha schwabs did when they installed it. They are by the book 100% warrenty issues and all. But I'm thinking of pulling them off and getting the 5" drop up front. Has anyone else done this?

I don't have any spacers on top, but I'm using stock springs, maybe those come with their lowering springs?

Well for now I'm running a meaty 305/40r22 but that will change.

 

I'm pretty sure those spacers are in there. I can feel at least 1.  U can kind of see it in the top of the pic. Luckily I can just pull the strut out and see. I still need to pull my fender liners out for a bit more room while turning.

What size tires are you wanting to run because this happens when you get small tires like i have

To be honest I like the look I have now. But my tires hit fender deep bumps on the freeway. Well, it may be wheel well liner. That's another reason I want to take them off.

my tires rub the wheel liners every once and a while.  you can see the spots easily when the wheels are off.

I personally like the look with liners in. And it doesn't really bother me rubbing them. But going lower I may have to remove them.

Just another inch in the rear for now.  But eventually I'm going to do the 5/8 or 6/9. But I dont have money for brand new tires as my tires are brand new right now. My 305/40r22s are just too thick up front to drop more up front right now. Although I'd really like to.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
