My kit arrived at the speed shop today. Scheduled for a Friday install. I sure hope Belltech has this figured out by now. I was at the speed shop when they called and ordered direct from Belltech so they know they shipped the kit for a 2012 RCSB. I ordered the kit with the Street Performance shocks. Wish me luck as my Ahole is puckered hoping to have it correct the first time. I'll post the results Sat or Sun. Anyone with the Belltech kit wishing they had gone with another makers kit after the install? :Grenade:

With a measuring tape! I want to see why all the BellTech 2/4 drops seem so much lower than the McGs.

I lost my nerve and backed out of the Belltech 2/4 kit. I decided to go with a GF 2" rear drop only. I can wait until someone comes out with a 2/4 kit without issues.

This was my problem, I couldn't see myself spending a bunch of money for something I wasn't completely confident in. The GF kit ended being the best solution for, until I decided to cut my springs instead.:gr_grin:

mine has the GF leveling kit, with my 22's, looks perfect. Love the look of the 2/4 until I read the harsh ride.

I think the hot ticket may be to have a McGaughy's rear end kit with the BellTech front end and Belltech Street Performance shocks on all 4 corners.

I ended up going with the GF 2" drop in the rear. There is only a 1/8" difference between the RR & FR. Also had a Flowmaster Street 50 series muffler and Hellweg rear sway bar installed. Next up will be Boss 338 black wheels and either Nitto's or Nexens to finish filling the wheel wells. Maybe next year I'll drop it 2/4 but for now I like the way it rides and handles. Wish I could find a local Sport Truck club so I can learn from others about working on these things. I'm pretty much a mechanical illiterate.

I have the Belltech 2/4 drop and I am really happy with it. I expected a decrease in ride quality, but I would not call it harsh at all. And on the plus side the install is pretty straightforward.

I considered going with just the rear drop at first, but I am really happy I went with the full one in the end.

Here's a pic of mine right after I finished it. Install was really easy.
