I called Belltech today, and politely told them that by their instructions, that it shouldn't have dropped that much. I began to tell them that i now need to get it all redone and pay the spring shop and alignment shop again for errors in their instructions. The guy was very good about it, then i asked how good is your customer service, he said we'll take care of you. Fax us the charges of both shops bills, and we'll pay them for you! He apologized again, and said that they just took off the instructions how to install the drop shocks off their web site. Do you have a email i can send you the pdf file off their website i downloaded. It's much more detailed then the one in the box i got anyway. I put on the new pictures of it in the light.

You can't go by what belltech has in their instructions, they are based on a 2wd. On 4x4's they sit 1" higher than a 2wd.

no rings on 2wd= 2" drop on 4wd= 3" drop
1 ring 2wd = 1" 4x4 = 2"
2 rings 2wd = 0" 4x4 = 1"
3 rings 2wd 1" lift 4x4 = 0"

That is how mine is sitting now. According to their install diagrams, if you use a OEM spring no spacers drops it 2". And if you use a Belltech lowering spring along with the Belltech drop shock with 1 spacer, you get a 3" drop! So i thought i was getting a 1 1/2" drop by adding 1/2" spacer. So it looks like the OEM spring is the same size as the Belltech spring, because the 1/2" dropped it around 3". I got with my shock kit, 2-1" spacers and 2-1/2" spacers per shock. I'll get you some pictures later today when the sun is out. Back to the shop it goes, man i wish i had my own tools! Later Al

I still have the OEM springs on mine. When I put the belltechs in I used "no" rings and got a 3" drop. I went back in and added 1 ring and it brought it up to a 2" drop. It was still too low so I added a second ring for a 1" drop and that's where I sit now.

B.T.W. The rings that came with mine are 5/8" and each one equates to 1"

Here is a pic of the front with the 3" drop

Hey Red,

I put in my Belltech drop shocks today. I went with my own OEM springs and put a 1/2" ring (spacer) thinking that by the diagram in the instructions, it would drop 1 1/2". But no it dropped down to a height of 1 3/4" from 5 1/4". The diagram said with a OEM spring and no spacers it would be a 2" drop. 1 spacer for a 1" drop, so i went in the middle with a 1/2" spacer. Did this happen to you too? I want the gap between 3" and 4". Did you use your stock OEM springs? And if i remember you said you used 1 spacer for a 1" drop too. I have pictures, i'll upload them now. Al

Just looked at your drop pics. I think the previous owner put in an add a leaf, that's why your still 1 1/4 to high. Try taking out the AAL or replace the entire rear leafs with new take-offs or drop leafs from belltech or roush.

My front sits right now without any work done on it at 5 1/4". And the rear with the blocks out and the 1 1/2" drop shakles it's at 5 1/2". So i am still 1" to high in the rear. Dam! I'll post a pic as it sits right now without the front being touched.

Ok, I went out and measured just like you did, from the top of the tire to the bottom edge of the wheel lip and mine is at 4 1/4" front and rear.

Hey Red, Well slowly but surely it's coming together. I finally received the 1.5" Ground Force lowering shakles last week and put them in today. I also took your advice on the Belltech adjustable drop front shocks. Getting these part from the USA take for ever through the shops up here. So along with the taking out of the blocks, and putting in the 1.5" drop shackles, it now sits 5 1/4" from top of the tire to the rim of the wheel well. What are your measurements there? I'd like to know what heights in the front and the back are, before i know what height to set the drop shocks. Thanks for every bit of advice, i really appreciate it. Al
