It shouldn't be 1-2"...I did a BT 2/4 and it was very close. Check the part # on the rear springs, call BT and make sure they are the correct sprispr

Pull the springs out and cut 1 coil off. That will drop you an inch.

Are you a regular cab? Quad? or Crew? The rear is going to drop more on the bigger cabs if that makes sense.

Did you get the right kit for your truck?

I would get in touch with bell tech and let them know what's going on with it. Maybe it just needs to settle some more? Dunno, but I know that they have helped guys out in the past on this forum.

I have the 965SP Crew Cab 4x4 kit and I sit pretty much perfectly level.

It would be easier to just pull the springs and cut a coil off than to go through the hassle of contacting bell tech for a solution

I agree as long as the shocks don’t have too much travel and allow the coil to move from concentric on the top perch. If the rear has the tires lifted off the ground(full droop with shocks still connected) and you can’t move the spring by hand, all good! Tape measure without the shocks and cut a 1/4” coil at a time until satisfied with both sides.

I cut 2 coils off my OEM springs and had to metal tie them to the bottom perch so they couldn’t wiggle out of position while rotating tires/large bumps.
