Question 3/5 Belltech Feedback

Hi all,
After doing more research, Belltech says their '09 kits fit up to '12s too...so I'm thinking of ordering the 3/5 drop.
Can you all give me some feedback? Easy install? Any major hang-ups? Did your ride quality change much?
Thanks in advance!

When i went to do my 2010 i found out that I wa going to have to add leaf to the back cause the truck only had 3 leafs in the back and Belltech said I needed 4 leafs for it to work.

I bought the Pro-Comp add a leaf and the truck sits perfectly.

That was the previous plan since it has been resigned

I know when I called and spoke to BellTech I was very disappointed in the customer service. I had to send them photos and measurements and they were totally useless to talk to. After they realized that they screwed up 2 weeks later! I was told to buy the add a leaf and they would refund me the money. I mailed them the receipt and called and spoke to them multiple times and they always had an excuse why the refund was never mailed. I finally gave up and said I will never use any of their products anymore.

If you have the money, go with Ground Force. They're kit gives you leaf springs. Lowering a truck with a flip kit is a lot of work to cripple your truck. I did it, and ended up taking it off. Now I have it lowered 2/2 with Belltech struts and Ground Force shackles.

For guys looking for more than a 2" or 4" drop this is their only option. Ground Force leafs ride like crap.

Originally this is what they were recommending before their R&D team tackled this head on. It has since been changed by using a newly designed flip kit.

Sucks you won't use their products anymore. They make great stuff.

I don't have them (because they're too expensive), but I haven''t seen any complaints.
