A 2/4 drop should make it sit perfectly level, with no rake. The extra two inches in the rear is to take the factory rake out of them.

To me your truck looks great. On mine I did add the helper bags as I heard they made it not bottom out so much. I had read that 10psi was perfect for the ride quality so that where mine at set. So far I’ve only had an issue when I was traveling and had luggage and and other **** we bought in the bed. Next time I take a trip I’m gonna put a bit more air in the rear and see if it doesn’t help it not bottom out so much in big dips.

Well talking to belltech yesterday and had to do some measurements under truck with truck at ride height. Said springs are bang on. So she called me today saying she was sending out 1” spacer to try. Belltech your #1 for customer service.

The rear is bottoming out on the bump-stop cups. I just removed the factory stops and installed the ones supplied with the bell tech kit.

I think most guys are grinding those cups right off and welding or riveting the shorter bump stops on to buy some space.

Is anyone feeling a fluttering feeling with this kit? I am not getting the sway at high speeds, but in mid range from low 50's to 65ish I get a fluttering bounce. I am wondering if it is still my tires?

Anyone have this issue?

I posted this a couple of weeks ago in another thread.

When I first cut some coils on my BT kit, I had no problems with death wobble as well. A couple of months ago, I ended up having to get a plug in my front right tire on a trip to get my nephew's dad from an airport 2 hours away. Apparently what punctured the tire broke a belt and the tire had some "interesting" wear, most notably a bulge and bald circle about 5 inches in diameter. I noticed it because I picked up the wobble at 82-85 mph. After getting new tires installed over the weekend, I have run it up to 102 and no more wobble.

I still think it is kind of odd that an issue on a front tire can cause the wobble but I'm guessing it induced enough vibration that passed through the frame to the rear end and started the wobble.

Any thoughts?
