Help with tire size and belltech lowering kit.
Help with tire size and belltech lowering kit.
As of now I have a 2002 lightning with 22 inch Hre's. 
I have done a lot of research throughout the web and really have not found a lighting specific 3/4 lowering kit from bell tech. I am just wondering if this is the correct kit for the lightning - http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts....categoryid=206
and summit - http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...=KeywordSearch
If you could you tell which one exactly do i need. Part #'s would be great. Also what it the difference between the more expensive lowering kit than the other.
What else would i need to get with this kit that isn't included? Camber bolts etc .?
Since i have 22" wheels and i am looking for tires as of now, what do you recommend me to get in tire size for the 3/4 drop?
Thank you a lot, sorry for being a newbie.

Well i finally finished up the install on the lowering kit. The rear leaf spring is on the second from the top hole on the shackle. So it can go down just a little more. However i thought the front was going to be lower than i thought. Maybe it just needs time to settle? If not i am going to order the spindles from belltech. here is how it looks after the install.

Well i did not think the front was low enough with just the belltech springs. So i decided to order and install the belltech spindles as well. Here are some pics of the end result. Sorry for the body being so dirty and the ****ty camera.

Looks very nice, you may want to raise the front up just a tad, either some spirng rubbers in the coils or spacers ontop of the coils, you will blow out your wheel wells on the first good bump.
keep up the good work.

the front drop is with 3" spring and a 2" spindle drop.

with spindles looks sick, but doesnt seem practical on a daily application. I want to go lower with mine, but am probably going to wait until i can afford a bag setup. Im a 2/4.5 on my screw, but sits closer to a 3/5 drop

Yea the spindles make the truck look ****ing mean..... It has a little rubbing issues and i fixed that with a little more camber. I am currently trying to find some where in my area to rent me a fender rolling tool, however, i have not had any luck.
Here is the link to the spindles from summit. All i have had is great experiences from them http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
