I'm about to do a belltech 2/4 drop.

Anyone had any issues with the sway bars or anything needing to be adjusted?

I just did the Belltech 2/4 drop. Do the 2" drop in the front and put the 1 inch spacer on the rear coils. Without the 1 inch spacer the rear was 1 inch lower than the front. Use the rear sway bar spacers supplied with the kit. I upgraded the sway bars also.

the sway bar on the passenger side lines up with the bracket for the panhard bar, after lowering to keep the swaybar parallel to the ground you need shorter end links. the djm end links come offset to push the bar to the passenger side, and youre supposed to move the driver side mount over (it gets into the radius of the swaybar if not).

Got a pic of it? been trying to find one with the spacer
mine stayed up an extra inch with the autolevel shocks(removed in below pic). I'm thinking of putting the spacer in on mine to give it a slight rake.

Following. My Belltech 2/4 kit from Tony will be here this week. Keeping the stock 20" wheels on it. That white o e above looks great.

rear on mine rubs all over, trimmed the fender liner up in a few places. 275 55 20 nitto crossteks (were about brand new so i havent replaced them yet)
hoping with the spacer and the spohn adjustable panhard bar will get it in check though.
even if i do grab a bigger wheel it will prob be similar in style to the stock wheel

I got the 2/4 drop kit from Tony on my 2011 tahoe. Its on 20" denali reps. rubs a bit in the back on the plastic but not much. I still need to do the free travel mod and install sway bar end links. I really like the look and ride with the kit.20180109_171428.jpg 20180109_171428.jpg
