KIT NOW FITS BOTH 2WD/4WD/AWD 15 UP GM SUVS!!!
Been doing this set up for a few months now and since I got my 2016 Escalade I did the same on it and very happy with results. 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 spindles (2wd or 4wd/awd)
Rear Belltech 5305 Coils
Rear Belltech Shock Extenders
Rear 1" Spacer
My Rear Autoride Links
Rear Bumpstops for Free travel mod (manditory for 4.5 drop) these bumpstops attach thru existing holes on axle pad
5/8 heater hose tubing (if required)
$550 shipped to the lower 48
Please text or call me 415 519 2432 and i can set it up for you
FRONT LOWERING
- Front is a simple install just install the 2" drop spindles and your set.
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. DO NOT PUT TOP INSULATORS BACK IN
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.
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.
GROUND TO FENDERLIP HEIGHT
On my Escalade i was at 35 9/16 front and 38 7/8 stock in rear from ground to fenderlip. With my custom kit above my truck came down do 33 9/16 front and rear 34 1/8. On non autoride truck you will sit about 3/8 lower in rear due to autoride system not keeping you up and I offer the belltech sp shocks for those without autoride which is a shorter shock designed for the lowered spring.
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.
