Belltech 2/4 with cornering ride quality...

[fire730]

Did you make sure that drivers side spring is seated properly? It looks out of place in that picture.

 

[Blazed]

i think its just the picture....

i really really dont want to say or do this but............looks like im headed for free travel mod..
i have the little red bump stops that i guess ill be installing.
im really worried about bottoming out with the free travel mod and then being screwed..
I need some reassurance

My truck has the FTM and a 5.5" drop spring w/ bilsteins and I've never hit the axle on the frame.

 

[Blazed]

i assume you drive pretty reserved with that low of a ride?

see im 17 i drive pretty fast..

 

[Alex33]

Not really. I fly over RR tracks and road imperfections like everyone else.

 

[Blazed]

so lol your assuring me ill be fine with the free ride mod...?
and do you have the little red bump stops in your frame?

 

[Alex33]

You'll be fine. I never installed bump stops on the rear of my truck, no need.

 

[Blazed]

how many more inches of travel do you get once the bracket is gone?

sorry for the questions.

 

[Alex33]

No worries, it adds 3" or so.

 

[Blazed]

alright cool ill get right on that try to do that this weekend let you guys know what i think!
thanks alex33 for the quick helpful replies!

 

[Alex33]

Ur welcome. Once you get it done, you'll ask yourself why you didn't do it sooner

 

[Blazed]

i hope so!
I think you may have under estimated my teenage driving abilities...
i go pretty hard!

[Blazed]

i just had a thought...
what if it wasnt a frame clunk i got but the drive shaft being shoved in the yoke..
excuse me if i have the part names wrong.

plain and simple with the system in the back you need to do the free travel mod. do that and you will be fine.

If you can do me a favor take a picture of how far the rear bumpstops are from the axle pad?

He's been fighting it but I think I got him to come around

 

[NORCAL SS]

id like to see how much space he has between the bottom of the bumpstop and axle pad.

 

[Blazed]

norcal, im the one who emails you with the "your escalade" subject!

 

[yates ™]

You sure it's just the picture on that driver side spring? I would triple check that if I was you.

 

[Blazed]

im home right now ill go check that then get a picture of the bump stop for norcal

I read a post by Modded saying he was scared to cut his bracket off because he didnt want his 26s ruining his fender wells or his a/c lines...
is this a possibility?

After actually looking at my springs i feel like it would be possible for bell tech to make much better 3in springs..
I realize these are technically 4in springs with a spacer but they should really make a 3 in spring with another active coil in my opinion.....
