Post Pics of Silver 01 with Belltech Shackles

Before Drop


After Drop


Wheelwell After Drop


Bell Tech shackles


I purchased these through Mark/Lightninforce @ UNI4MONEY@aol.com

They cost about the same as the AIM shackles and come with the bushings installed.

Nice look. Can you measure the distance from the wheel well lip to the ground...front and back. Thanks

I used the belltech 3/4 and the rear is bottoming out big time. Did you change your rear shocks, and if so what did you use.

I just used the drop shackles and not the complete kit. I still get good weight transfer,traction, and handeling.

cabraco:
I did the belltech 3/4 kit and went with the belltech nitro-active shocks. I havn't noticed the truck bottoming out, did you replace the bump stops with the belltech ones?

hdminimum, yes, I replaced the bump stops with the shorty ones that came with the kit, I am replacing the rears with the dortsch tech nitro. Also Bilstein is coming out with shocks for the lowered L in December. Suposed to be about $65 each and 280 plus psi
