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

I really like the look of the dropped on KMC slides, any more pics?

I may get the same setup for my (coming soon) suburban, but maybe with 26's?

I Installed the 2/3 Belltech kit yesterday on my 2009 Tahoe. I really like the new look and ride.
I have a question on the rear. Does it matter if the spacer is at the top or bottom? Also which way does the spring go in, wide coil spacing at top or bottom? I have the spacer on the top and the coisl with the wide coil spacing at the bottom. The drop was 2 3/4" with the spacer. Passenger side is 3/8" higher that drivers side.
On the front spindles, I only got a drop of 1 3/8" not 2". Everything went together great and it rides great. ????

The spacer goes on the bottom and the wide spaces of the springs goes on the top. The 5305 model should be upright when u look at it.

front 34.25
rear 36 with 1 inch spacer

the belltech spring set up i sell with the spacer in will sit at about 34.5-34.75 and without 33.5-33.75

So I installed the rear springs tonight, took me about twice what it should have because I was having a problem getting driver's side spring in. Not sure why but its in there now. Passenger side slipped in "easily."

Rear sits at 35" with spacer still. Better than I had but still not as low as what I was hoping but it'll do.

I do want to thank Tony for taking my texts with the issues I was having at 12:30 A.M. my time and getting back to me right away!

Like i said above 34.5-34.75 with the spacer in. If you drive on it a little will come down to about there and if you pull spacer out it will sit lower than front. You can cut the spacer in half if you need to.

Your at 34.25 in front and 35 in rear drive on it for about a week then remeasure it should come down just a little then you can cut the spacers if needed
