between the McGaughys, belltech, ground force spring lowering kits, who makes the best quality coil springs or is this information even available?

there is some great information on here if you search. I've heard mixed reviews on all, but have heard many happy with beltech and their kits come with panhard relocator.

I love my Belltech, just order springs and rear shocks, retain front factory shocks.

Only thing I don't like about my beltech 2/4 is the front camber alignment.. I need to put in a special upper ball joint to get it to align right. and I have inner fender/tire contact but I think thats cause of a modification done by the previous owner... Been to busy to really tear into it and see what has been done to the front suspension kit.

Rides great though

Just installed my 2/4 bell tech kit and love it so far. Everything went together with ease with the help of a buddy of mine and Matt from Moes performance. Still drives straight so far as well and will get an alignment after a couple days or so.

I've been asking about how alignments comes out after a 2/4 lowering and this is the first time I've read about anyone actually getting there truck realigned.
When I lower anything it's at the shop the next day. That doesn't seem to hold true with other people. I don't get it.

I bought mine lowered, so I'm not sure all the parts and how it was done, but the dealer did an alignment, I didn't like the camber adjustment so I took it to my guy to fix, takes a part but I cant remember the #, Ive posted it somewhere on the forum to fix the camber issues. but they are about $150 a piece.

Must not have read any of my threads in this section:naughty: I had mine in for alignment the next day. I bought the lifetime alignment plan from Firestone. I've been back three times since the initial alignment. Twice after a few months to verify after settling and the last time to check it and set thrust angle with the adjustable Spohn panhard bar. Not to worried about the camber as the tires are wearing great and the truck tracks perfectly down the road at any speed.
