belltech 2-3-4 drop kit

[leileisdad]

Hi guys, yesterday a shop here in town installed my belltech kit. I went with the 2-4 drop. It rubs really bad, they told me I could cut, or use 1/8 spacers I like how my wheels sit inside or flush with the fenders. I dont want to lose that look... I have 26 inch wheels with +35 offfset.... I have an 07 Tahoe non autoride 4x4.. Also one side is lower than the other, for example in the rear, I can put 4 fingers between the tire and the fender and on the other side I can only put 2/3 fingers... Same with the front... Has anybody seen or heard of something like this? Im taking it back today, but I wanted to ask you guys for suggestions first.
Thanks!

This is a KNOWN issue, commonly referred to "Chevy lean." All Chevy trucks are higher on the one side (either due to the location of the gas tank, or because most roads are crowned, or due to some other mystery of life). All you did was lower the truck evenly, and so the same height difference side-to-side is still there.

Don't sweat it.

CHEVY LEAN is def. Normal. It sucks! But....since you dont have auto ride you might be able to cut one of the spacers in half and install it on left side to even it out. I have messed with my airride and finally got it pretty close 1/8-1/4" when aired up.

As far as tires rubbing i think it the offset on the wheels, i have 22" with 35mm offset and they rub on the rear inside part of fender liner and sometimes slightly on the front fender liner rear of tire. ( if that makes sense) i used a heat gun and molded the plastic fender liners in a little. Had to trim very little on rear. Just part of being a baller on "sixes" haha

Did you use springs or spindles in the front? Belltech makes a 1" spacer you can use to correct the Chevy Lean

Norcal how are you going to be fixing the chevy lean? Adjusting your links more? I know yours are not both the same but you also have all the rear end goodies. Please inform me as i absolutely despise the chevy lean.

im going to be bringing my front down about 1/2 inch with my $15 dollar mod that ive been using since late 06 on them. I can adjust from side to side to make it sit pretty even in front. Rears a little more tricky will have to trim 1/2 loop and due to the fact the 5305 in the kits i sell has about 6 dead coils it does not affect ride.
