Lowering rear only on a 4X4 LTZ?

[Fast55]

I'm interested. Although is there a difference in my 2wd LTZ vs your 4wd LTZ in height in the rear?

Front is 36" to the fender lip, rear is 38", but looking at the truck it looks worse. I would bet that right at 1.5" of drop would be what I'm looking for. I do not want the low in the rear look that Kirk ended up with using the Belltech springs. I'm a picky SOB.

BELLTECH HAS the 2 inch drop springs and they have 1 inch spacers that you can cut down to make it a 1.5 drop if needed

also ive done autoride trucks with 2 spacers ie top and bottom of the spring and works perfectly fine.

It's kind of hard to tell, their web site is a POS. Nice application guide for our trucks, it even lets me select 2009, LTZ, 6.2, 4WD, and even requires me to select 4D Sport Utility, then the only product that comes up for the truck is a set of 2" spindles. If there is a 1-2" spring, what is the P.N. for that? Would shock extenders still be necessary? Autoride links?

Hmmm... To my understanding, the belltech shocks that he sells comes with the optional shock extenders (aka spacer? or is this something different?) that you use if you have AutoRide?

Shock extenders are not spacers -- they're brackets that relocate the bottom of the shock's mounting point back and down (so that the length the shock travels is still the same as stock). The spacer in the kit is a spring spacer (that keeps the truck from dropping the amount of the spacer).

I don't think relocators/extenders are necessary for 1" -- but I'd say they are for 2" drops. The ride will be much better with the relocators.

And I'd guess that Autoride links would be needed, otherwise the shocks will try to lift the rear to compensate for the lower springs.
