So i finally lowered my truck after 14+ months.... Bought the belltech 964sp and got it installed yesterday the kit came with 4 springs 4 shocks 4 bump stops short rear swaybar end links and track bar relocator...my only concern is that the guy did not cut the front bump stops cups. Is it necessary to cut them off?

If you are going to pull it apart and cut the cups off, put your original R/T front shocks back in. It will ride much better and not "float" as much as it does with the BT shocks.

Looks killer lowered. I wonder how wide of a wheel/tire can fit on the back of one of these?

thanks i think the most i've seen people run is 10" but i am sure you can maybe fit 11.5-12 IMO

There is enough room to fit a 12" wheel, but you are limited by tires. Basically, a 305/40/22 is the widest tire available that is the right height. They say that it will fit on a 12" wheel, but I am not sure if it would look right. It may pull the tire out. ???

Musta missed this thread when you first put it up, but the truck looks great. Good work man.

Thanks for all the great comments...next might be tinted tails and third brake lights or maybe powder coat the wheels...im still sceptical about the wheels though.

Maybe it's just me, but I love the wheels as is. I wouldn't change em at all!

He would have to go with a lower profile tire which would mean lowered more with a speedo recalibration by whatever means .Would love to see one of these with some 345's out back on a 20 inch wheel.

I noticed this also when I did my drop. It seems the BT shocks don't have enough rebound valving and allow the truck to "float" like a boat in waves while going down the road. The stock R/T front shocks helped this quite a bit, but I still feel it needs a better shock.

Some of your stiffness could be coming from not cutting the cup off of the A-arm and not allowing the bump stop to "squish" as much as it needs to.

Unfortuantely the 345 tires are only 28" tall, we need a tire at least 30" tall or it will look like a rubber band, IMO.

UPDATE...

took my truck to the alignment shop today and they told me they aligned it as best as they can but that it was @ its max but that i should not see uneven wear on the tires till about 8 months of driving.....any one have this problem?
