Belltech spindles not 2"???

[gat0r]

there have been other users reporting full 2" not seen in past.

Did you measure immediately after lowering or did you drive for a bit to settle everything? Yes, the proper/accurate way is to measure from the fender to the hub.

measured after moving around the yard some then again once i drove it home.

Measuring from the ground up, on the same vehicle with the same tires/wheels kept at the same air pressure, should not have much of a variance in overall height at all. However, it is indeed more accurate to measure to the center if the hub (especially when comparing vehicles).


Sounds kind of like a copout from Belltech. Although they are indeed correct, your measurements should not have been swayed much as long as you did not change wheels and tires or air pressure.

That's what I was thinking. What's crazy is I usually do measure from center is the hub to fender but for some reason I decided not to because I mostly see people's measurements on this forum from the ground up and I wanted to compare them

How it's sitting right now. Got some struts on the way to get the front down a lil more

Is that a 3” or 4” drop in the rear?

It's 4.5 but it's actually sitting a lil lower

Looks really good. What size tires are on those rims? Any rubbing issues? I’m doing a front spindle drop soon. Hope I get the 2” drop. It’s a McGaughys spindle with upper control arms.

305/35. It was rubbing a little at the rear bottom part of the liner. I pulled the liner back and gently persuaded the fender back and then added another torx screw to pull the liner back

do people use the rear lower control arm relocation bracket like the ones from djm on these newer suvs?
