That is up to customer. 4 shocks belltech are 300 extra.

If has higher mileage I'd swap

No, your pick up points on the front don't change with a spindle, so factory shocks work as designed. If you were lowering using springs, then yes, you would need to look into changing it up. On the rear you are able to get around that by using the extenders.

Anyone have rod measurements for a XL or burb with autoride and NO rear spacers? Spring and idolaters only on rear.

Just picked-up a 2018 Tahoe premier RST 6.2 4wd and it sits too high. Interested in the 2/4 kit. One question: will the drop spindles work with the large Brembo calipers? I did not see a thread to confirm this detail. I want to confirm fitment before ordering.

Im.sorry been running. This kit has been working out great.

We can also set up a 3/5-6 kit.

These trucks you can do 5 and be fine. As long as you cut bracket off frane your fine
I have the 15 non mag or air, did the belltech 2 front 3.5/4.5 rear and the rear was slammed without the spacer... i think it looks great... so i ordered belltech struts for front to go another 1.5... so ill have a 3.5 front and 4.5 rear but i thought rear that non mag or air was even lower like basically 5 inches without the spacer...can anyone comfirm?

Also will I need new uppers? So the front ball joint isnt so raked?

Running 24s 295 35 24 here is a pic from yesterday

Was just about to place an order and watched a couple videos where new rear sway bar end links are needed. I don’t see these mentioned in the kit details. Any clarification is appreciated. Thank you.

Nice truck mentalmadness, seems like I have the same drop where the front only went down 1.25” after installing the 2” spindle. Did you order the strut cup to go another 1.5” lower in front? Is so can you post and pic and did you have any alignment problems? Thanks in advance

When you say strut, do you mean the strut cup setup or just new struts?

@NORCAL SS Tony do you know if you HAVE TO change the knuckles when lowering? I have an LS hoe and I'm swapping the springs and struts for PPV springs and struts. But I noticed the PPV and civilian models have different knuckle part numbers... does anyone know why?

Ones probably an aluminum one and ones probably a cast one. That's would more than likely be the difference.
