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

Crawled under there and part on the spring reads 5323-001

So I just googled and found this

5323 on the left 5305 on the right

The springs on my truck are definitely taller.

yes thats the one that comes with the 23323 kit. I havent used that spring since 07 on peoples trucks who want a 3-4 inch drop. its really a 1-2 inch drop.

Did they leave a 1 inch spacer in there?

Yes Tony the spacer is in there. If I have that removed would it help out and will it ride as good as the 5305?

If I have the spacer removed would the ride quality be as good as the 5305 with a spacer in or should I replace the spring?

Because I want a 2/3 and it looks more like a 2/2

no different spring rate and ride quality. I know belltech changed the part number but the kits with the old spring part number I sell ride so much better than the 23323 kit.

spacers have no change on ride quality. I would see about the shop returning the parts back. Say your not happy with ride.

Ok, if the shop gives me crap can you sell me just the springs? Or is there more to the kit that is different?

sorry its a complete kit with shock extenders. You can sell the extenders on ebay along with the spacers that come with it.

the 5305 with no spacers you will be under 34 inches in rear
