No fitment issues. and were straight forward on installation. Since i was lowered I trimmed my sleeves down and used shorter bolts. No issues and work great. I am running belltech street performance shocks. Good mid line shock but could use a little bit better dampening when on a truck as low as mine.

Ok good to know


Now I also have another though/question.

Could I drop the truck 2" front and 3" rear?

How would I do that? I have 2" GF shackles acquired so far.

Move the rear hanger up an inch, re attach with 1/2 inch hardware.

Ok thanks bud...

I did more reading and it sounds like keeping 2" rake is good for steering. If I did a 2" 2" drop that would give me that slight rake. So if I did my 2" GF shackles and the Belltech shocks all the way around should i do 2" drop coils up front with the belltech shocks or can I just use the Belltech shocks with stock coils and run them at the 2" drop mark. I think this is the route I want to go (2-2 drop)

Good luck. Are you doing the work yourself? I have done all mine and it wasn't all that hard. Just some elbow grease, patients and a few cold ones...lol
