I lowered today with Tonys 2-3/4. In the rear I still have the spacer in and need some help with the links.

I threaded them in and they were I believe 2.75 end to end.

I sit at 35 1/4 in the front and same on the chevy lean side in the rear and 35 3/4 on passenger side.

Rear ride is bouncy and I want my air struts to air up to about 36 - 361/4. To help with ride comfort. Does anyone know what size I should be on the links? Do I go longer or shorter?

Also has anyone trimmed the spacer to make it sit level?

so you konw the front of some autorides sit higher than other. If yours is lower in the rear then you can get another 1 inch sapcer and place it up top or your can get a 2 inch spacer from ebay. that will lift rear end enough to work.

Do you sell the 1" spacers? Isn't that gonna put me back to stock height ? All I wanted to do was level the truck, and was told it would but it's not level with this kit that's all I know.

My issue was just some tweaking. If you have auto ride go to Home Depot get 10x24 3" screws and cut the head off. This length will give you with the spacer in like 36 inches with the spacer out 35 1/4. When I was lower in the back turned out I was sitting on the shorter bump stops. No air was going into the shocks.

he links from belltech are shorter. With the 1 inch spacer and the 10x24 machine screw like ive stated on here will do it.

What does your truck measure front ground to fenderlip all around right now?

Ok I understand 3" screws but what I'm trying to say is that the stock links are 3". Wouldn't that be the same as the 3" screws? I would assume so.
