What makes the Belltech rear 3/4 springs Adjustable?

 

[NeverSatisfied]

They should come with a 1” spacer. Spacer in 3”. Spacer out 4”

Just a visual for looks and fitment.

Same 2/4 but with shorter tires. Obviously no rubbing 285/50/20s

And then same drop again 295/30/26s no rubbing except the back fender liner

I like the look of the 285-50-20 and my son has that exact same style tire on his trailblazer but a 275-45-20. Tire wear is excellent.

They look good, I don’t like the fender gap they create. That just means I have to go lower another 2 inches lol

Very good thread. Glad it is pinned. The 05 Escalade before I replaced it with the Platnum. Had a 2/4 drop. Rode and handled great.

Thanks. Front tires are 275/30/24. Rears are 285/30/24. Wheel widths are 24X9 up front and 24X10 in the rear.

Did it over 8 years ago. I don't remember the offset. Front lip is 2". The rear I believe is 3.5".

Looks good. Rare to see any lip or staggered with these years. Except of course the extreme.
