I bought the Beltech lowering kit. I flipped the rear axel/spring and used the shackles to lower 5". At the front I used the supplied shocks
to lower it 2 3/4". All this lowering makes the truck look fantastic and level........BUT ! after 9 months of use I have to report that the truck rides very hard! The "Sport" shocks that Bell tech supplies seem way too hard for road use! Both front and rear seem like that their is not enough travel in the suspension now. It is like the truck bottoms-out on the shortened yellow rubber cushions that Bell tech supplies.
The truck corners much better now, but I think I would like softer shocks. Bell Tech has not been helpful on this installation.
