I talked to the girl from the vendor and she told me that they stopped my order until she talked to me. She told me this same stuff and the fix should be ready within 3 weeks. She said I can still get the kit and if it don't work I can return it for the new fix or get a different rear drop. I'll find out what I'm doing and more info Monday. This blows big nasty *****!

Yall think the 4 inch rear leaf spring drop with a 2" or 1" shackle will work to get me to the 5 or 6" drop??

And they only sell them with their drop kit. I spoke with them directly about a year ago hoping that they'd sell me just the leafs. They were not interested. Kit sells for around $1,000 which is just stupid. If a more reputable company like Eibach was making them, they'd be half the price.

Ordered the 3/5 belltech. But she said that they would look into another rear setup option that will give me what I want to achieve being the belltech flip kit is at a stop. I will know more Monday and post.

Just walked the lot at a local dealer. The only trucks I found with a 4-pack of leafs had either the 7100# or 8200# GVWR package. Just FYI.

Belay my last. Just found two other identical truck with the 7100# GVWR package, and one of the three has a 3-pack. What a mystery! Both were FX2 crew cabs with the 5.0 and 26 gal tank. the only difference was the one with the 3-pack had 18" wheels, and the other two have 20".

So the belltech flip kit is not adjustable....?

What about the DJM flip kit, is it adjustable?

Can you add a 1" lift hanger to the belltech to help lift it. Regardless I'm putting helper bags in the rear whatever route I take.

Yeah I love my bags. I don't run air in them all the time unfortunately. I really want to go 2" lower in the rear so I have to run air in the bags just to sit level. That way I get the ride comfort the bags provide when they have air in them even when I don't have a load.

When I have a load and I have air in them my truck rides like a dream! They keep me from hitting the bumpstops too. I just can't run them with air with no load because it makes my rear high and gives my truck disgusting rake.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can do that. I think "Patman" and "AZmidget" did similar to achieve their drops. PM them on here about it. Keep in mind their trucks are not 2009-2011 though.
