Has anyone bolted on a set of 2 inch drop spindles with their Belltech 3/4 drop kit? I've had the Belltech kit set at 3/3 for many years now. This is a bad pic, but here's how it sits now:



I like a little rake to the truck, so I think I'll be fine lowering the rear to the "4" setting and dropping the front 2 more inches. Just looking for feedback (or pics) from anyone who may have added 2 inch spindles to their 3 inch coils.

Are you curious as to how it would look? Or if there would be problems doing this?

 

Both. I'm curious how it looks with the 2 inch spindles on 3 inch coils, but I'm also interested in knowing how bad it rubs the fender liners or if there are any other problems I may be overlooking.

When I purchased my 3/4 kit several years ago there were plenty of pics to confirm that I was buying what I wanted. I've searched all over these forums and can't find anyone doing the 2 inch spindles with 3 inch coils. Surely someone out there has tried it.

 

thats my buddys truck, its got about a 4/5 ish drop

i installed 2" belltech spindles and Hotchkiss TVS coils on the front, which are close to 2" of drop

what size tires are you running?
not a lot of f150s are running around with 5" of drop in the front, and honestly i think a 5/4 dropped truck would look a little weird

 

Thanks for the pics. I've got 275 45 20's all around. I honestly probably don't need 5 inches in front. If it's way too low I'll have to chop on my stock springs.

 

i want to do this exact thing!

 

i've seen the chevy guys do 5/7 with springs and spindles up front and a flip kit and shackles out the rear and it looks good, but like blackedoutv6 said 5/4 would look weird

 

..i should be dropped 5/7 soon.

but im using control arms/springs and hangers/leafs/shackles

 

Well, I really prefer a slight rake in back because I'm usually hauling something (atv or dirtbike, tools, wheels, materials) and it leaves room for the truck to level out.

The pic I posted was the Belltech kit set at 3/3 so it's already raked 1 inch. I think the stance looks pretty good. I think I may need to just get the 2 inch spindles and chop on my stock springs to get a 4/4.

 

Have any more pics Micah? I'd like to duplicate your current stance, that's just a Belltech 3/3 kit?

 

Unfortunately I don't have any good pics. Here are all the pics I've got. It's the Belltech 3/4 kit, but I set the rear at 3 instead of 4.








The 3 wheeler is 300lbs so you can see how it squats. When I had the old L wheels I didn't have a camber kit installed so they looked like they tucked in much better on front. The new wheels got the camber kit which I think raised the front end up a little.

 

actually i take back what i said about 5/4, it actually looks good i've seen a silverado like that dropped more in the front with a cowl hood and that thing was sick

 

20" 99-00 lightning wheels im jealous



I too am headed down some more, just trying to finish gathering parts. Im gonna list the GF spindles i have and either get arms or DJM spindles.

3/4.5 in picture, currently sits 3/5 after i dropped the shackle down another .5"



I still haul stuff with my truck, i just let it squat

 

nice rides

 

Micah, what rims are those in the first pic? i wanna get a style like that or the boss 330s or american racing rts. i love the 6 spoke wheels that are simple and clean.
