Default Belltech 1001sp on 4x4 Crew Cab

So I got the 2/4 drop installed. The rear is setting at 35" the drive side front is at 34.5" and the passenger front is at 34" can't figure out why but hey can't notice and it looks great. I love that I finally did this drop. Can still use at as a truck and it rides way better than leveled, also handles better.

I have zero driveline vibration...but...upon acceleration I feel something in the rear...almost like a driveline shift or an axle shift but everything is tight and in place. Maybe just nature of the beast?

My only complaint about the kit so far is the rear shocks. I did use the belltech rear shocks and I can feel alot in the road from the rear...the front not bad and I can live with...the rear may have to go too fox shocks.

Also maybe thinking of raising the rear 1" if I can find a way to do so. It hooks a little better in 2wd but wheel hops like crazy..still 4wd launch for fun time.

That looks good! I said this in the for sale thread you posted in, but have you considered putting the 1.5” spacers back on?

Also, dang man even with 3.31 it seems like your truck moves pretty quick. Not sure mine moves that fast with 3.73’s! I know you got the 5-star tune, but my understanding was that there’s not *that* much that can be unlocked from the 5.0.

If you’re referring to the factory lift block, adding that back in will lower the truck even more b/c of the flip.

I've seen a few and really thinking about it.

Trying to decide what's next for the truck. Prolly gonna do black fender badges and would like to upgrade the headlights.

Thinking of upgrading the rear shocks to Fox as well. I am so happy I went with this 2/4 drop. Feels the perfect height and I cn still use at as a truck.







I almost...ALMOST...wanna drop the front another .5 to 1" but I don't think i wanna do that with the belltech struts. Also would like to find a good front splitter and delete the front tow hooks.

Maybe Trac bars and a rear sway bar.

This is a 2wd launch...what the speedometer when it shifts.

Did you do the install yourself or have a shop install the kit?

also what size tire are you running? I’m asking cause I’m getting ready to remove my level kit and replace my 33’s

I did not. I had a shoponly charge me $400 to so it, and they acutally installed struts wrong at first but fixed it.

If i would have more than 1 day off latley i would have done it. It doeant seem all too bad.

Im running a 285/50r20
