Done a few trucks and worked out great I've tried other rear set ups but as always the 5305 coils do ride the best which has been proven on this forum for years and rear will not be way high like you see on the other kits out there.

My kit consists of
Belltech front drop struts and camber kit
Rear Belltech 5305 Coils
Rear Belltech Shock Extenders
Rear 1" Spacer
Rear Shorter Swaybar Endlinks
Rear Bumpstops for Free travel mod (manditory for 4.5 drop)
5/8 heater hose tubing (more on that below)
$525 shipped for kit
$635 shipped with rear bumpstops/endlinks to lower 48 states
I will be adding a link to the above kit on my store here shortly



FRONT LOWERING
  • Front is a simple install the drop struts and camber kit

REAR LOWERING
  • Heater Hose??? Yes 5/8 heater hose. On the 15+ the top insulators are pretty thick. The 5/8 heater hose I include with my kit you will push around the 2-3 top coils on the springs. This will get the extra drop that the oem insulators take away and will be no noise since they are covered.

Rear Spacer
  • You will see the 1" spacers that goes on the bottom of the springs on this kit. Some people will want rake which these spacers will give it but others will not. When lowering the back of these suvs and using the 1 inch spacer in my kit you can cut 1.5 inches off the bottom of the yellowish bumpstops that come with the kit and replace the OEM ones but you will notice with the front drop spindles in the rear sits much higher still which brings us to the next option of the kit below.

  • If you use no spacer the truck will just touch the bumpstops and ride will not be great at all. This is why the free travel mod is needed. All you are doing is cutting the bracket off the frame. You are not cutting into the frame or c notching it. Once you do that though you no longer have a bumpstop so I include a bumpstop which attaches to the top of the axle so if you did ever bottom out it will be bumpstop to frame not axle to frame.

Rear Endlinks
  • I include the new swaybar endlinks which will reposition the swaybar so its parallel to the ground which gives better control of the rear and a nice upgrade over oem.


Autoride Info For Rear
  • I will send endlinks with the heater hose kit you get. My Autoride links will be shorter and fully threaded. This way if you install them and rear sits to high the rear can come down more if you cut them and reinstall.





As always if you have any questions please feel free to ask and I am around 24/7 for support via phone/text at 415 519 2432 or email [email protected] or [email protected] and last but not least you can PM me here.

2015 Denali 4wd. Wanting 4" drop in rear and 1.5" front. This is the kit I need, or just the rear kit and strut spacers and end links? Don't want to lose AutoRide, but want max drop. Probably do spindles when the come out later on.

Yes kit is 525 shipped

Don't need your bumpstops and end links with 4" drop in the rear?

You don't sell the drop strut spacers, only replacement drop struts? Aren't the Denali struts MR? Hate to lose the MR handling and ride by going to a replacement strut.

Thanks.
NORCAL - I'll be contacting you later tonight about ordering my kit.

Motorswin - I found a few pics of stock height 2015s on 22s on butler tire's website.

I'm going with 22s on my 2016 after I lower it. It's my wife's daily so for ride and functionality she doesn't need 24s.

Can you send me a paypal invoice for this kit with the rear endlinks?

And you said this qualifies for the Belltech discount right?

2016 Tahoe 2wd 5.3 no Autoride.

Thanks.
I'll pm you the email address.
