They lowered the rear of my truck about an inch. Easy to install. They might void your warranty...

The front of mine is about .5" lower after the install. Rides better over bumps and corners better too. Shouldn't effect much, if anything, as far as long term wear......

Most service departments think our trucks are "turbo charged".

I don't think they'll notice the shackles. Besides, the BellTechs are the same color as stock. Glob up some of the undercoating on them, and they won't know the difference.
Worst case scenario, they void your rear suspension warranty, not the entire thing....

They greatly improve handling and appearance, IMO.
Enjoy!

Cool Bell-Tech drop

Hey Shawn,

The Bell-Tech drop shackles will not void your warranty. After my install I still had 3/8 difference up front. Painted black like stock shackles, bushings installed. If you need any more info. drop me a post and I'll get back with you. Speak to you soon Shawn.
