I ordered the QA1-TS709 through Summit Racing. Note that I did the 5" drop option in the rear. The QA1 shocks have different lengths and you'd want to be aware of lengths if you did a different lowering option. I had originally ordered the QA1-TS504, but they were slightly too short by about...

Before you replace too much, you may need to modify your bump stops. In the front, my truck was essentially running on the bump stops after the drop. Not thrilled that Belltech hadn't accounted for this. I ended up cutting about 75% of the material out and it is MUCH better and I've had no...

Sorry I'm a little late to the thread and sorry for all the crap you got. And from a quick glance, it appears no one actually answered your first question. Most likely you WOULD need to replace the shocks as the stock units may not work as well being compressed 4". That said, I did the full...

Great write up! I was able to retract the pistons using the "cube" tool that fits multiple rear piston slots and attaches to the end of a socket. But applying pressure AND turning the socket was a real challenge. This was my first vehicle with a "screw in" set up and what a PIA. I'll get the...

Stock Ford grill from the black appearance package. It is in very good shape with no broken tabs or connectors. There are some small chips from normal road debris. I am selling as I replaced it with a Raptor-style grill. Will ship for an extra $25.

LOL - hope it smells better!

Cleaned out my catch can. Not to ignite the "should or shouldn't" have one, but here's a visual of the frothy mess that comes out after a little over a month. Yummy.

Finally got the MBRP dual exhaust installed. The kit would have been easy enough to do myself but because I had installed the Belltech lowering kit, the rear leaf springs got in the way on both sides. Ended up using most of the pieces (muffler, Y pipe, and tips), but the rear portion had to be...

+28mm That pushes the wheels out a little more than I wanted, but was somewhat limited in wheel options I liked. It's not bad, and is (barely) covered by the splash guards, but if I bottomed out the rear suspension, it would rub the plastic trim/edge.

LOL - not anymore since the ~5" drop. My wife is 5'2" and still does. :wink:

275/50ZR20 FWIW - there is a slight rub on the driver's side bumper support in the front. But only when reversing.

An update on living with the Belltech kit and some new wheels/tires for the truck. I got a set of Sparco All-Terrain Sport Truck 20" wheels with Yokohama Advan Sport tires. I had to laugh as Tire Rack called and asked if I knew that the tires I ordered were a high performance summer tire. I...

Great combo - love the truck color.

Thanks - I love the truck. The Belltech 4" drop in the rear requires the cut due to where the rear leaf spring is positioned. I imagine any exhaust exiting in the stock location would be affected in a similar way. I am looking at the MBRP dual exhaust which should have no issue as it is...

2017 BMW 340ix. Doesn't pull a 20' car trailer. :wink: Still for sale if anyone is interested! Love the car and really hate selling...

I have the JL 10" as well powered by an Alpine BBX-T600 and totally agree with your comments. I really like mine, it is VERY tight and snappy, but only can move so much air. 99% of the time it does everything I want and adds a ton of warmth to the sound. But then I have those moments where I...

Final pics and multiple adjustments Depending on your plans for your truck, and how your use may change in the future, this kit is very flexible. One thing that isn't billed with the kit as a whole are the multiple height settings you can achieve. The rear can be dropped 4, 5, or 6", which is...

Exhaust modification Another item I didn't know about until getting the kit was that for the 4" drop, you will need to cut the tailpipe. That particular configuration puts the passenger side leaf spring right where the exhaust comes out at the side of the truck. I initially dropped the truck...

Your truck looks great! A beautiful blue. What coilovers are you running now? What would you get if you replaced them? In the future, I might go a touch lower, which would require a coilover in front as the Belltech kit is as low as it's going to be.
