2/4 belltech

[JoeWithTheHoe]

just finished installing the front part of a 2/4 belltech drop. Why does it look way more than 2? Am I just being paranoid

Mine looked like that after one end was done. It won't look as extreme after you drop the back. But yeah it does look like more than 2".

What kit did you get? Was it just spindles or spindles and struts? That looks pretty far drop for just spindles. Looks like 3-4" drop in the front right there.

I did spindles and flipped the struts under the arms to get the same look.

I got the belltech 2/4 drop as well, which also had the option for 3" drop instead of 4". Just spindles in the front, shock mount relocation brackets and springs in the rear. I measured before and after and it was right in the 2" front drop and 3" rear drop range. Can't remember the exact numbers. But it definitely looked wonky when I was half way through.

Do you have a current photo with the rear drop installed?

Yup get that stink bug rear end dropped down 4" for sure it will look alot better.

This is the one I purchased. Hopefully with the back done, it won’t be as low.

It won’t be until this weekend until I can install the back. I feel better now that someone else was wondering the same. But this kit had it where I can make it 3 in or 2 inch in the front and I left two rings on the strut to make it 2 inch drop only.

Oh okay, I got the bargain kit that did not come with struts. So I guess results may vary

The front drop spindles by themselves will drop the front by 2”. If you’re using any rings on the front belltech struts to also lower the front that would be in addition to the amount of front drop that the spindles have already provided…

Uhg - wish you had posted about the drop before purchasing. I would have suggested to look at DJM suspension for lowering. They make some really nice components.

Alright guys, got it all off and fixed. She looks so much better now. 285s/45 look perfect
