2/4

Will a 2/4 drop on my 2002 reg cab shortbed compromise the ride at all? I don't want to feel every bump in the road. Will the truck be level? Has anyone used the bell tech kit offered on this site?

Make sure you change the shocks with the BellTech Kit, You want the NitroActive Shocks, not the NitroDrop Shocks. The ride will change slightly only because your sitting lower, but the handeling will greatly improve. Also make sure the proper alignment kit is installed with the lowering so you dont get negative camber on the front wheels. The truck will sit somewhat level, maybe a little rake to the rear end. The rear kit should have a few height adjustments to it to make it higher or lower.

What about with only 2" springs? Will these make the camber that much more negative? I've heard that the stock shocks could be used with nothing more than a realignment. I've never heard of a kit needed with this particular modification. Which kit? What would you liken the ride quality to? Stiff, firm, slightly firmer than stock, or tighter and more responsive.

Thanks

I have the BellTec 2/4 with the shocks on my Expedition. It rides great. Actually after the kit, I like it better. Great handling. For an Expe it hadles great, considering the top heavy part.
