Looks about the same as many other kits. I still think A-arms are the best way to go. I can see why people like the strut/collar option super cheap and easy with lots of options in 1/2" amounts. For the price I still may order struts, in case the 3/5 arms are to low. Ad says +2".

 

I'm ordering everything this month then spending weeks installing it all. need a build tread just to get the help I need.

I'm really surprised how well the Belltech struts ride compared to the stock Ranchos I had

The djm arms were garbage in my opinion. I will never buy djm again. They fit super tight. Had to hammer them In and they ride like crap. Pulled them off the same day for mcg spindles and struts

Belltech Has a mail end rebate for $150 it was about $800 Total with shipping and I got The 3/5 kit with shocks ..

I would guess that is due to the poly bushings. I wanted to replace at less one of the rear leafs to poly also. I can't imagine that the arm itself would cause a ride issue unless there ware a major alignment throwing the geometry off.

 

Is it true about spindles changing turn radius and would a all spring move the wheel back in the wheel wells?

My turning radias is great. I don't think I lost any

Belltech kits say 2" only in the front. Only way to get more is spindles. Also kit #987SP says Std. cab but comes with shocks/struts. I don't see any kit that is a 5" rear. What did you get?

2016 crew cab 2wd. I want a 3/5 but I am worried about turn radius with spindles.

Mine wasn't affected

Cast steel or stamped steel arms?

Sorry Life has kept me busy, back in town now. I have aluminum suspension and 24" wheels 295/35/24. Also a friend of my made fun saying it was stupid to run 24" and all this performance mods with stock brakes so I want to order up the Wilwood TX6R kit. Just need to know if this kit works on the drop spindles if not I have to lower with springs and struts. I will wait on the Cal trac as I am worried about removing the overload leaf and/or leaf clamps with this amount of lowering. I will order turbo and fuel mods and then gopro camera the axle and see if I need to address the wrap. However then I would do cal trac and a helper bag. Still need my HP tuners and play with that for a few weeks before we tear it down for the turbo/fuel.
