I have 2" drop spindles on the front and beltech 4" spring on the rear.
The rear is a little higher and I'm not happy with it.
Will the rear settle down or do I need to cut a little off ?0AB1966F-393E-4EB3-84B3-3A8B701A44FE_zpsba1nryec.jpg

I think it looks good, why not drive it for a week or two before doing some cutting...

Thanks ! It's starting to grow on me. It's a 1 1/2" hour gayer in the rear. If it settles a 1/2 to 3/4" I'll be happy

level trucks suck to carry any weight in or tow with. I ended up putting helper bags in the rear to make towing a boat easier.

Hey Mike, I'm in the same boat as you, 2/4 drop and wanting a bit more out back. I'm probably going to cut a full coil off my rear belltech drop spring and see where that leaves me. I'm pretty sure others have done that already on here.....forget who that was though!

I'm gonna put about 2k miles on it in the next two weeks to let them settle and go from there with it.

Got a alignment today. They spent 2 hours on it and couldn't get the caster were i wanted it. I ordered a set of adjustable ball joints that I'll put on in a couple of weeks so I can cure my OCD.
