I did a search on this but I still have a couple of questions.

1. Will I need a front end alignment?

2. Assuming I don't need the alignment(I don't think I should) will I have to re-aim my headlights?

3. I noticed a lot of people using belltech but all I see on their site is a 1" shackle. Am I missing something?

4. Will I need to adjust the pinion angle of the rear end?

5. Can I expect better launches/overall handling?

6. Does anybody notice increased tire wear from this mod? Those 18's ain't cheap.

Thanks a lot people

 

Let me see if I can answer your questions.

1) You shouldn`t need an alignment, I didn`t when I had them on my truck.

2) Your headlights will be fine.

3) The Bell Tech shackle is a 2" drop, the number on the box that mine came in is 6400, I think thats the part number.

4) No, with the 2" shackles your pinion angle will change minus 2 degrees, but when you hit the gas the torque and spring movement actually bring the pinion angle back to stock under load. or you can use a 2 degree shim if you want it back to factory spec.

5) I don`t know about launches, I don`t race, but the drop shackles actually made my truck ride smoother.

6) I never had any problems with tire wear.

I hope this helps.

Ya like Larry said,
I put them on, made no changes, and like them. I ran 1.9 60's every time before them, and still do (on bald F-1's) I did manage a 1.8 60 with the shackles once so far.

Mine are half the price, if you need a link, e-mail me.
