I ordered the Belltech UCA, coilovers & flip kit with there rear shocks. They told me 8-10 weeks, it’s fine because my wheels I ordered are 8-10 weeks out as well. Counting down the days

Keep us posted! I want to hear about your experience with the UCA.

I lowered my 2019 Lariat roughly 6 months ago using the Belltech kit 2/5. Can't complain, definitely improved the handling in corners, and has a smoother ride, it does bottom out from time to time but Louisiana has the worst roads, now on to searching for some wheels. I ended up buying the smoked led turn signals for the mirrors, and had the taillights and third brake light tinted. Don't have any updated pictures, but will post once i get it cleaned back up.

Great looking truck!
What wheels are you looking to run? There was a member selling a set of 22"x9" from a lowered truck.
How did you tint the tail lights and third brake light? Did it affect your blind spot monitor?

After loading 15 bags of mulch in the bed, the truck sat level and looked pretty sweet actually! I may drop it another inch in the rear and see how it looks?

Before the pic, it sits like this:

For those of you who do not know, I have about a 3" front drop using Control Freaks kit and currently in the 4" rear drop using Belltech's rear flip kit... I'm thinking I could get away with moving to the 5" drop hole in the rear?

Yea, the front drop on my truck bottoms out on some bumps/dips/holes around here, where some of the roads/intersections aren't in the best shape... It sounds awful in the cab, but I'm thinking I might have a way to make it sound somewhat better, that I need to get around to trying?

Hey Jason,
Im looking to purchase the 3/6 drop kit from Belltech, just curious on the fitment for your wheels, did the -24 offset pop out too much before putting the fender flares? if I dont do fender flares should I go with less of an offset? -- Beautiful truck and a much inspiration to my future build.

Adjust your king shocks full compression.

Cool, I'll try that tomorrow! Thanks! I have them set at the "performance" setting, instead of the initial "comfort" setting.
