Here’s a somewhat quick walkthrough I did when we dropped my buddies Silverado. We used a kit from Belltech. The quality of the kit was great. The quality of the truck, not as great, lol.
@SpeedyCanuck Nice job man. Thanks for making this video. I bought this c notch and will be using with a 2/4 drop. I noticed when you had the template up the original bump stop was not in the center of the notch. The kit moves the bump stop further to the rear. Why? Can I use it with a 4” drop without the flip kit?
I don’t know why it wasn’t centered. But it all seemed to work out fine. I’m not sure you’re able to get a 4” drop on those trucks without doing the flip kit. I feel like the hanger only gets you about 2”. And I believe it helps with your pinion angle as well.
@@averagedadsgarage yeah the drop kit I used has 2” drop hangers and 2” drop shackles. I wonder if the bump stop is moved further to the rear due to the flip kit leaf spring pins
Yes. We could see the fronts have some camber to them. The truck went into storage for the winter shortly after we lowered it. So an alignment hasn’t been done yet. It’s getting one in the spring, and we’ll see how much can be corrected. I’m expecting it to always have a bit of camber unless we get into changing out control arms.
@@osvaldo0593 I would imagine its able to be ironed out so to speak in the alignment. this Belltech kit utilizes the oem suspension control arm and should retain factory suspension geometry but honestly id call Belltech and ask them if there is weird alignemt issues can can arise when lowering.
After having a cutting wheel come apart on me about a month ago, and subsequently breaking my finger....I cringed super hard watching you cut without a guard and having your face so close. I had my guard off too and it is now back on.
