re: Post pics of your drops

mine also is flat on the bottom side haha but it is leaking there now so it sounds real good. haha i have been thinking about using a piece of flex pipe and running it tighter to the trans for more clearance.

re: Post pics of your drops

pic of when i bought it (same day) Stock.....yeah its pretty bad.







2/4 drop, spindles up front, pulled a leaf (pulling a leaf actually gave me 1") + 3" blocks
i was planning on a 3/4 but somehow my 1" belltech springs gave me a 2" drop. I like the 1" rake my truck has, it gives it character

So you took out the coils? Why? You know around these parts lower = better.

hahaha.... anyways, i took them out and sent them back TWICE! just in case they might be defective (got my money back). the reason i took out the belltech coils was because
  1. huge ass dips in the roads = major tire rub, no money for new tires (tires were 5% worn why replace?)
  2. carrier bearing was 3" or so off the ground
  3. lots of steep driveways (mostly at gas stations)
  4. dropped me 2" instead of 1" (called belltech about it too)
yes #2 can be fixed with the bolt on SD carrier bearing but i didn't feel like messing with pinion angle again.

also i was starting to think about why the lowered me 2", as in the spring rate being possibly messed up or something. anyone have an idea??


im still happy with the 2/4 drop, i wouldn't mind having that 3/4 but sadly road conditions are limiting me on how low i can go, or else i would do a 5/6.

right now im VERY familiar with the drop coil installation process but i can still go lower anytime i want to.....i just dont feel like it , and as stated above, 2/4 is different and i like it!
