Lowered suspension

The beauty of dropped spindles is they have zero effect on travel and little on alignment while maintaining factory half shaft angles. If you topping out that is a dampening issue IF the spring rate has the damper at near mid stroke. Spindles nothing to do with the dampening. 

 

Out back you have to have the room for compression to use the compression. It its skipping about again wrong dampening. 

 

 

The Belltech street performance struts are designed to be set in a lowered position which maximizes the range of motion. I called Belltech and the technician confirmed this even though the struts are advertised to run in the stock length. I thought something was a little strange when I jacked up the front of my truck and the wheels only drooped an inch or two before they were off the ground. What is crazy is I had the exact setup on my '08 Sierra and no issues.

I'm running 2" beltech drop shackles with beltech street and performance shocks for a k2 truck(0-2" drop) and my rear end doesn't bounce around and isn't overly stiff. I have occasionally hit the stock bump stop on really hard dip/bumps in the road but otherwise rides much better in the rear than stock setup. I still need to get rid of the stock struts up front.

I run BellTech -2" spindles and King coil overs. Zero issues. Stock length rear Kings on a 4" drop done with dearched Deaver springs and block removal. Lovely ride. Handles nice. And yes, I hit the rear bumper on occasion. I never expected that I would be able to carry a stock hauling payload. If I had a need I'd bag it.

Belltech 4/6 drop on 24's. Rides great

Does this require you to cut into the bed to install or just the frame?

The belltech kit requires just the frame

[shakenfake]

All 4/6s on T1XX require cutting the frame. That's why it is now officially the gayest platform to drop with. I have no issue cutting into the frame, just not on a new truck lol

IHC 3/5 on 22’s

What wheels are these and what offset?

The truck looks great!

Heres my 19 on a 4/6 belltech on 24" kmc slides. Rides so much better than leveled and stock imo. Super happy with it so far.

21 elevation on maxtrac 3/5 on lowest strut setting rides ok in front. Rear you feel everything and hits the bump stop pretty regularly with nothing in the bed. Some of the rough ride is from the 24s but it wasn’t bad until it was lowered.  The worst of the kit is the driveline vibration. It took 7degrees of shims to get it somewhat decent.  Love the look and want it a bit lower but as you would expect with a cheap kit, you’ll get cheap parts equating to a bad ride.
