Belltech 2/4 drop

[crew chief]

I just installed the Belltech 2/4 drop yesterday that I purchased from Tony.
The installation was fairly easy and took about 3 hours. I cut the bumpstops as Tony indicated and set the air ride links at 3". There is a little rub on the inner fender with the wheels turned hard.

Here is the before and after measurments:

LF 35 3/8" 33 1/2"
RF 35 3/8" 34"
LR 37 5/8" 35 1/2"
RR 38" 35 1/4"

Good looking Denali!

I'm guessing 22"s?

 

[crew chief]

yep 22"s

How come the rear only measures 2.75" and just a hair over 2" on the other side?

 

[crew chief]

The RR started out higher than the left with the factory springs installed. These measurements were done right after the drop so I am hoping the rear springs will settle a little bit. The compressor seems to kick on more than before so I am going to adjust the links to 2.75" and see what happens. The ride is great for a lowered vehicle.

no spacers right?

 

[crew chief]

No spacers

 

[KMeloney]

That sounds high with no spacer. You definitely need to shorten the links. I know Tony and I have gone back and forth on this, but I think that the links need to be shorter.

After the drop and front end alingment my wife was driving down the freeway and experienced a "death wobble" in the front end. It has only happened once so far. Have any of you had this happen or have any idea what caused this?

ya, like the video. The steering wheel was moving back and forth. I'll pull the wheels off today and make sure everything is tight.

Crew chief-- have you shortened the links yet? My compressor seems to kick in alot more and i have been debating on 2.5" or 2.75" links let me know what you decide. And how it helped. Thanks.

 

[crew chief]

I have not had a chance to change the link lengths yet. I am out of town until next week. will update with the results as soon as I get back.

Looks good. What year is your Denali? I have the exact same truck but 2007. I'm thinking about dropping it a little after I get a set of 22s. Your pic really helped me visualize what mine will look like.
