Belltech 2/3 with spindles. Seems to sit a bit high in the front. Thinking of letting a bit out of the torsion keys. Opinions?

nice and clean.

you can go down up to 1" without sacrificing much ride quality. I personally like just a tad, and I mean a tad of rake on lowered truck. looks like 1" down will make you about level or 1/4-1/2 below the rear.

im bring mine down tomorrow. 2/3 spring in the rear and 1" in front with the keys. I cant afford a whole kit. I piece mealed this setup together for $300 including 4 new gr2 shocks, used belltech 5303 springs, and used shock extenders. maybe in a few months ill buy a set of sprindles for the front. wont be too low for now but still better than stock.

I just let the keys out 4 complete turns. It sits level at 33.5" all four fenders. We'll see how it settles.

The links are set at 3 inch center to center right now. How much should I adjust them out?

Thanks guys. Put about 50 miles on it today and the rear came down another half inch. I think I'm going to have to put the spring spacers in from the kit to get the rear up.

Thanks guys. I love this thing more every day. I backed the autoride links out a bit longer. About 3 1/8 center to center. It firmed up the rear a bit more. I still need to get the shortened sway bar links and eventually upgrade the sway bars.

Can't tint front windows here in bay city Michigan. My buddy got pulled over 58times in a year for having his tinted. Police here are cray cray.
