Default I wanna go loweeeer lower baby



I have a 19’ Limited with a 2/4 belltech drop but I want to take the front down another inch by removing the spacer. Is there a way I can do it without running into clearance issues as it is a 4wd?

Not only do I install/sell these kits I offer 24/7 support so if you want to call me at 415 519 2432 feel free to do so.

Just need you to answer below questions so I can give you the best answer.
1) what year truck?
2) 2wd or 4wd?
3) how low do you want to go?
4) budget you want to be in?
5) belltech or djm item or both doesn't matter.


Here goes the suspension order page I will be adding pics up shortly

2015
2wd
Level the rear and 2/4. Not sure which route yet. (Will leveling the rear require pinion shims?)
$100~$500 if that is reasonable.

I do not want to affect the ride quality and will use the truck to haul/tow on occasion.

thanks!

FL..............FR.
36..............36 1/4

RL.............RR
37 1/2....... 37 3/4

i think the 1/4” lean may have been due to the wheels being turned to the right in my driveway. Measured center of fender lip to ground.

thanks.

Be VERY careful if welding on an axle tube. The heat generated can/will warp the tube running the axle housing. In the past, I have used wet rags as a heat sink and welded in small sections at a time, 1/2” length or so and let it cool. Check for square in between welds.
