Did u guys remove the rubber gushing like the d. I directions say. I did on one side and it didn't make a difference I really need an alignment its way of lol

 

What rubber bushings? Are you talking about the bump-stops?

 

In the top spring perch. the directions show it without them.

 

And is the flip kit any more difficult to install than the struts?
and has anyone found the directions online. and if so do you know the link.
thanks

 

You need to have the upper spring bushing in the strut mount. I'm certain the picture you're speaking of was to show how to install the bump-stop. The spring bushing has to be there to apply even support for the top of the spring.

The flip kit is definitely a pain in the *** to install. Especially if you have a 2-piece driveshaft. Here's the instructions.

Thanks. ill put mine back in then. lol.

 

Got a email today from Belltech asking me questions about my truck. Wanted to know what size rims where on it, how many leafs were on it, if I had a camper top..how much space I had from the top of the rearend to the bottom of the frame....So it sounds like they might be onto something..

 

Well I hope. in ordering it here in a couple months. and in getting some bags and compressor. just don't know what all I need.
and does anyone have the.l rear sway bar? I don't know if it would be worth getting or not

 

I had my truck aligned yesterday after the new struts (it was way off) it sat at 18 1/4 before the alignment and now it sits at 18 3/4. I only have one 8mm small spacer. it should be at 3.5 drop. but in at 2 3/4
Belltech needs to really re think there whole setup. I know its only 3/4" difference but its still not where I wanted it.

 

So you ordered there kit??....Did they sell you the rear flip kit????

 

If your asking me.. Then yea I ordered the original 3/5.
They gave me the option to get it because I had already paid two days before the actual hold was in place. So I'm taking a chance and going to play with it. Says it will be here Tuesday. Then should be on around dec 17 bc I'm going out town in a week until then.

 

Sorry, I was asking digbyz...but Im courous how yours will turn out ColonelBlue....good luck

 

No I just got the struts for now. I know it looks goofy with a redneck rake on it but I didn't have the cash for.the whole thing right now. and I got a deal on them used from the same guy milt bought his wheels off of there the same things tho. im going to bag the back. I wonder if I coud use my drop shackles to get a 7-8" drop I know I couldn't drivIe

 

Like that but when in parked I could have more control over the rake. (Sorry for 2 posts my phone is fn up)

 

3 leaf vs 4 leaf springs ..... I seem to recall seeing specs some place reguarding the actual thickness of the leaves used in the 3 vs 4 leaf packs. The obvious one is the thick overload spring but even the other leaves vary by use.

I think maybe the 3 leaf spring packs with 2 regular leaves and the thick overload leafe might be somewhat more flexible, have a lower "rate" which would make it more friendly on uneven ground like that which a 4WD would be more likely to be operated on.
