Ok so you DO need to slot the lower control arms. It will correct the camber by allowing more adjustability.

You're pretty close to my office, JFK & BW8, would love to see yours in person. Tough to tell in the photo, but the 2/4 almost looks a bit too low for me, especially if we're going to be pulling a trailer.

Default My 2015

It has the Belltech 3/5.5 kit on it. The front did not come down 3 inches so I had to improvise to bring rear up so it would sit level. Anybody else have this issue or any idea what caused it?

I'll get around to that. I just didn't think it would need it with only a 2" front.

I work at Richie and Hardy toll road. It does seem low for a 2/4 but I'm also running the short tires that come on the 18" wheels. A lot of guys are running helper bags. I wouldn't be afraid to hook a trailer to it right now though. Mine will come up some tomorrow after the wheels and tires get mounted.

I'm not sure what the issue is but I've read where a few guys haven't got the advertised 3" drop from the Belltech kit. Truck looks good btw.

Anything lower than an inch in the front on these trucks, lol, and you need to slot it. The lower control arm is already pretty maxed out as is. The slotting is a PITA...

Finally got some wheels. 20x9 Race Stars, +25mm with 305/50R20 Nittos. I think it turned out pretty good.

Nice!! I had 305/50/20 on my 3/5 Superduty. Perfect combo for lows and comfort.

How do you know that it didn't "come down 3 inches"?

You guys are aware that the front wheel well bulge is larger than the rear....giving the impression that the front doesn't look as low as the rear when lowering these trucks right?
