kissfans03ss Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Guys i searched all the suspension threads requarding belltechs 3/4 drop,i want something like Kaotic k 1 or haul ass because the look low and level,whats confusing me is does a 2/3 spindle/leaf drop actually give you a 3/4 drop or 2/3? and does anyone know where i can find a 3/4 belltech drop cause most sites i look at are real confusing.

haul@ss Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 yeah the leafs are advertised as 3" but will give you about 4". and with using just spindles, the rear will be a little bit lower than the front so you're gonna want to turn your torsions a little to get it level, or you can turn it even more for a sport rake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS ON 22S Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 not for our trucks.. haha leafs are part number 5952 spindles are 2508 Hey SSer's! I installed the belltech leaf springs in the back of my 2004 SS & I can not get rid of the vibration, so to say that it does not change your pinion/transmission angle is false because it does. I had the 2" shackles in before with no vibration, but I wanted the more level look. I tried 2,4,6 degree pinion shims & not much success, any suggestion? If I can't get rid of the vibration I'll have a set of belltech leaf springs for sale! Regards, SS ON 22S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure they were installed properly? maybe the vibration is coming from something else like unbalance wheels? just some ideas..

I think your the first one to have experienced a vibration problem with your real leafs. I have them on my truck with no problems. They come made so you don't need the shims.
