Just swapped to the new version belltech tb springs in back of my escalade and I can honestly say im done with my suspension set up for it. Rides great!!!! I've been thru pedders/mcgaughys/belltech/eibach pretty much on my truck and now i found the perfect combo and I'm finished finally.

My set up includes
Front belltech spindles
Front Norcal SS modded struts (helps ride due to autoride link movement)
Front/rear DJM swaybars
Rear Norcal SS modded DJM hardware kit
Rear Belltech tb coils (new version)
Rear Spohn Panhard bar
rear spohn lower control arms

Only thing I will be adding is helper bags for towing (autoride still lifts truck up perfectly)

Just wanted to put the info out there and I'm just glad I finally got the truck dialed in and finished!!

So what is the final drop numbers front and rear?

Is this a 2/4?



305 35 24
front 34 1/8
rear 34 3/4

btw if you guys are on a budget you can do the kit minus the endlinks and rear lower control arms. the swaybars help these trucks nicely. The 5305 coils do ride great i just like these a little better

How did you make it this low with no alignment kit?

Up front he's about 2 5/8

2" Belltech spindles don't do anything to the alignment and the other .5 to .75 will just max out your factory camber specs.

Yeah when i did the spindles i was good, but once I did the struts and went down anther 1.2 inches, I had to do the alignment kit as well.

I effectively ruined my tires running all summer with a extremely ****** alignment and now $300 later I have the alignment kit installed and that was last Wednesday and I'm getting the final alignment tomorrow now that my tires are toast it won't do any good.
How ever after installing the alignment kit even without the actual aligning I did notice it no longer felt like an earthquake after the front end hit each bump and for that I was very grateful.
