Looking for some feedback on the Belltech Drop Struts for the '04-up trucks. Specs on them says you can do up to a 3" drop with them. I have the DJM drop shackles in the rear currently in the 1.5" position. I like the slight rack look and am considering the drop struts in the front 2" down and then the rear shackles on the 2" down position.

Anyone running them as a stand-alone in the front?

I've got them on my 2010, installed 2" lower.

They work, just as advertised, and they will do 3" lower, BUT even with the 2" drop, I needed a camber bolt kit and the tires still aren't perfectly perpendicular to the ground. In order to get my camber perfect, I'll have to slot the holes.

If I were doing it over again, I'd get new lower control arms.

That is why I am only going 1.5". I have seen pictures and it is just what I want. Hopefully there will be no alignment issues.

Belly, please post up with install issues (if any), what position you put them in and a pic of the "after" if possible. Many thanks in advance.

Well, truck is at the shop for a Monday install of front struts (1" drop), rear Street Performance shocks, dropping the shackles to the upper hole for a 2" drop and 2 degree pinion shims (if needed).

From all my research, it seems folks have always gotten about 1/4" or so more drop than what they set the front struts for. I like a little rake so it should end up just what I am looking for. Once I add in the rear anti-sway bar it should be a nice handling rig. I like to call it "OEM Plus" looks and handling wise.
