VHO_Tek Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Getting ready to pull the trigger and drop the VHO. Was thinking Belltech 2508 spindles and 5952 springs, but now considering rear hangers and shackles. Which rear hanger/shackle kit from Belltech, looking at 6515 3" kit. Is this the correct one? Looking for input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymz Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 if you wanna go the cheap/easy route go hangers.. You'll get axle hop though if you get up in the HP.. IMO rear leafs are the correct way to lower the rear.. -3 belltechs here and I love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackOut V8 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Not trying to jack a thread but I am also looking for detailed information on how to upgrade my front suspension and upgrading the rear while dropping it about 2 - 3 inches. Thank you for any input. BlackOut V8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHO_Tek Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Rolled the dice, going with Belltech 2508 spindles and 6400 shackles. Got Edlebrock IAS 33012 and 34010 on order to round them out. Will have them next week some time then installed at my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js_silveradoSS Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I have the shackel and spindle kit. Not as low as i wanted and got a weird shimmy @ 70 + while accelerating. I even used 2 degree wedges. I think i am switching to the leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only did 2" shackles in the rear you are not supposed to use any shimss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrtbeat1 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I had this same question, and after reading through 56 pages on lowering I was more confused than ever. I had asked YTTAF (who's truck looks perfect to me) about what he used and he was nice enough to repond to me. This is the list he gave me. Belltech 2/3 drop, spindles/leafs. Front spindle P/N 2508 (sold in pairs) Rear leaf P/N 5952 (buy 2) Rear sway bar i'd go with the Addco #631, & use energy suspension endlinks #9.8124R and bushings #9.5161R for rear bar. Stock front bar w/ Energy Suspension endlinks #9.8121R and bushings #9.5172R. I had asked about the rear sway bar and Energy Suspension end links and bushings, that's why they are included. Hope this helps someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
