Talking Just lowered my Screw with Bell Tech 3/4 Drop

Well to make a long story short it was a long day lowering my truck and i had all the proper tools I started about 12 noon and finished about 2 am. The hangers in the rear are a b**ch to get off. If you dont have a very stong air chisel then good luck. Second bad thing on the back was the leaf spring pack center bolt they are a pain to get off. third for the back was the lack of spelled out instruction for the shim placement I knew where and how to put it but when going together the u bolts were to short. I ended up having to remove the small factory shim to get the u bolt to be long enough. all seems well so far. I also replaced all the shocks with Bell Tech nitro active shocks. It looks great and handles a lot better also. the only other gripe i have is that the kit didnt come with a smaller bump stop for the front like the rear as i had to cut some of the front one off due to it touching the lower control arm. but the ride is great. Not harsh at all.

I assume from your name that you have 20" budniks. What size and have you had any tire scrubbing with the drop?

well to answer your question about the wheels I ordered the wheels and the kit at the same time the wheels will probally be a couple more weeks from budnik. I ordered the 20 x 8.5 with the fat lip option they should look like a 21 or 22 inch wheel as for rubbing they wont rub they are pretty much the exact same size as my factory tire about 6 tenths of an inch shorter actually and they will tuck inside the fenders. I went with the 275/45-20 tire.
