lowered the ass end of my truck 7 inches. Called stylin trucks and bought some Belltech 2209ifs that they said would work perfectly. Checked out Summits website and said its for a 7inch drop as well. So i ordered them tried to put them on today and no go.. Way too big of a shock. I have shock extenders and the whole package. passenger side works fine, maybe 2inchs of suspension travel in the shock which will work. drivers side is on the shock once its lowered to the ground.. I measured the drivers side floor to the quarter panel im at 27 1/2", measured passenger side im at 28 1/2"s...

before the belltechs i bought some Doestech shocks that were for a 7inch drop as well and the drivers side doesnt fit either or is too big as well. are these shocks all messed up or is something wrong? i have the extenders bolted in the right way and everything.. how is my drivers side 1inch lower then the passenger? i only have 1/4 tank of gas if that left in it. no way should it be sagging that muchh?!!??!

move the lowering shackle on the drivers side down a bolt for the extra inch? im lost..

Maybe thinking the upper mounting is sightly higher on one side of vehicle maybe?

naa never took any pictures. i dont get it. i know the obs silverados have 2 lengths. but belltech, djm, or anyone has ever noted anything. Belltech isnt worth a damn right now. the application guide on their website doesnt even tell you the dimensions of the shocks nor for what drop kit its for. companies piss me off
