2/3 Belltech didn't drop as much as I would like in rear.

Rear not so much

How difficult is it to remove the spacers myself?

Wow! Yeah, I'd say it sure didn't. That's bizarre. Almost seems like something isn't right up front.

How did you lower the front? Spindles?

I don't think there are "spacers" to remove from the front, unless someone added a lift to the front at some point, and you never removed it.

Seems odd.

Belltech front spindles, rear coils. Only thing I can possibly think of is the Z71 has off road shocks and that's what is making it not squat down as much as normal. It has been 5 days, should I give it more time to settle???

On a side note my cadillac rear appliques are painted and G5s should be here tomorrow!

If you do not have shock extenders with stock shocks, then I believe the shocks are deffinitly holding you up and probly causing a rough ride. I wouldn' wait, buy some extenders (~$40).

Did you get the kit off of me?

Are you running rear shock extenders?

Rear springs have to say 5305 on them.

I did not Tony I stayed local. (Should have known better)

I DO have shock extenders.

Looking at my invoice it says part number is 23323

I assumed it was the right kit because the pictures look identical to your site...

(Just wanted to chime in to say that I realize now that I had your front and rear measurements reversed. Sorry about that!)

Randuff -- See if you can get under the truck and see the number stamped on the springs. It WILL make a difference if they're not the springs Tony asked you about. You want them. They will give the best ride and drop pretty low.

yet another shop that has no clue. 23323 is the new part number belltech came out with but the spring in that kit rides worse and doesnt lower it as much as the kit I sell. There is a reason I dont offer that kit after installing those on the trucks. I really don't know why belltech changed to a new part number which isnt as good as the older springs at all.


Just make sure they didnt put the 1 inch spacer in the top of bottom of rear spring.
