Hey folks,
Well I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on a drop for my 11' fx2. But I have a few questions first.

I'm set on the front adjustable struts from Belltech. As well as the rear Belltech shocks.

But what I want to know is what's the full range of lowering with these? I'm looking for only 1" of drop, no more no less.

The rears, I'm torn between a new leaf pack or shackles. That because I only want a solid 3" rear drop max, no more no less.

The questions are:
Does anyone make a leafspring for the 2011's? Are they the same as 2004-2008 leafs? Anyone with opinions on ride quality with new leafs? I'm not worried about payload as I'm more than likely gonna run helper bags.

Next question, has anyone run a longer shackle than what Belltech/DJM/GF have to offer? JLP makes a 2,3,4 shackle however it's longer than the aforementioned pieces and I'm not sure it'll clear the bed.

Let me know your thoughts!

 

The 2" rear shackle makes you fold the bed flange... I dont know how they would ever do 3-4

 

i have a Ground Force 2/4 kit and the rear comes with new leafs and shocks

 

Yeah, I noticed that about these newer trucks. On my 02' could fit a 3-4" drop shackle with a 1/4" to spare. I guess these are a no go.

 

Nice! Mind givin more info on the ride quality with the rear leafs? Was it and has it stayed a 4" drop over time? Meaning have they settled over time to more than 4". Thanks!
