NORCAL SS'S 6" DROP SPRINGS
PAYPAL [email protected]
Springs alone $225 shipped


They will drop your 00-14 non autoride truck about 6 inches in the rear and AUTORIDE TRUCKS 5 inches in rear.

Few thing about this kit (i sell all items below)

1) you will need to run the djm hardware kit with the shorter bumpstops which is $190 shipped
2) you will need to use the belltech street performance shocks which are $130 shipped
3) You will need to cut the bumpstop bracket off the frame.
4) The springs by themselves are $225 shipped to the lower 48 states
5) Airlift helper bags fit inside also. The coil spring design I went with has no dead coils so helper bags will work perfectly and they have more of a chance to fit in between the springs. You will be able to load up truck with helper bags in the rear. Airlift 60742 is part number to work on these bags.

Yeah i have the 2200 shocks on my yukon right now. I have a djm 3/4 kit. I want the 6 inch coils but i dont want to use belltech shocks. What size calmax shock would be equivalent to the belltech shock? My ride is really bouncy

the designed my springs around the belltech sp shocks and no issues with ride. You will need the djm rear hardware kit with my bumpstops also to make the kit work and cut bracket off the frame. There is no way my kit will ride right without the above set up and cutting off the brackets.

I have a 2016 Tahoe LTZ (with autoride) with a 2/4 (3.5) drop installed and on 24" wheels. The rear still sits approx. 1-1.25" higher.

Will this 6" drop spring (5" for autoride) be enough to make the front and rear fender spacing equal?

Originally purchased and installed 2/3 kit (Front spindles/Rear springs with shock extenders) from mcgaughys, but later replaced rear springs with Belltech's 4" drop springs (3.5" for autoride).

Are they the 5305 coils?
Did you use the spacer?
Did you cut bracket off frame?
Did you do my endlink/bumpstop kot?
Are you using extenders?

- Belltech coil spring kit 34324. According to parts list, they are 5305-001 springs.

- Did not use spacer (I know this will only increase the height of rear).

- Did not cut off bracket from frame. I'm using Belltech bumpstop that came with kit (shorter than stock). I don't want to cut off bracket. There is approx. 1" gap between Belltech bumpstop and bracket on axle. I did a road trip with 4 other adults and completely filled remaining space with gear (up to the ceiling), and the ride was awesome. The autoride did it's job well. I would be willing to cut Belltech stop shorter if necessary.

- Did not buy your endlink/bumpstop kit. Will there be huge difference in ride performance?

- Using extenders.

Took this shot about a month ago. Not the greatest, but at least you can see the annoying gap difference between front and rear.

1) remove upper spring insulator and the the 5\8 heater hose mod I've been doing on them

2) my autoride links to get it to sit lower

3) you will need to cut bracket off frame to get a decent ride if going lower.

4) my endlink kit will fix the away bar angle for better ride and cornering and will need my bumps top if cutting off bracket


Attached one done recently. My custom 2/4.5 kit
