Hey guys. New to this site so apologies if I’m using it wrong or anything. I have a 2010 1500.

About a month ago I installed BellTech’s 2/4 drop. I’m assuming they sent me a 3/4 or 2/3 kit by mistake because if you look at the pictures I’ve attached it’s clearly not sitting right. Wayy too high in the rear. I’ve emailed the support of where I got it from, and they said there was nothing they could do for me since it’s already on the truck.

Sooo, I was hoping to find a rear 6 or 7 inch kit to drop it even more. Might as well, huh? But the issue is I can’t find anywhere that only sells it for the rear. Only the full kit. Was hoping someone could help me with this. Thanks!

Start with cutting one coil off the top of the spring,and go from there if it's not enough. Be forewarned though the ride might get a bit rougher. In laymans terms the shorter you cut a coil spring,the stiffer it becomes

@Wild one is on target. just remember cut the right coil more than the left since you have to deal with the gas weight.

Here is my RT, it has 4 inch drop bell tech springs only in the rear and I cut 1 coil off the right and 3/4 coil off the Left. Im 5 inches down in the back as I measured it before and after. If I wanted to be 6, I would cut another 3/4 off the left ( for a total of 1.5 coils) and probably another full coil off the right (for a total of 2 coils).

Last cut with a grinder, not a torch. Spray paint the cut end to reduce rust

I'm running 285/45/22 tire.

Just to give you a different prospective. The 2nd photo is with a set of 20 inch wheels. 275/60/20 tires.
