I remember seeing your post awhile back and it encouraged me to buy a set myself.

what size tires are you running sleek? do you have any rubs or bottoming out issues with those tires?
Did you ever call Belltech to make things right? I've never had a prob with them.

I have Hankook Ventus ST Rh06, 275/45/20 and Nitrogen filled.

yea i called them and they just told me that they only offer two shocks right now the Nitro Drop 2s and the Street Performance shocks. i told the guy the problems i was having and he told me that the nitro drops were made more for comfort. he said with the Street Performance shocks id see about a 50% increase in stiffness over the Nitros

maybe with those shocks and different tires ill be fine. do you guys know if a 255/45/20 will rub up front on my 4/6? or am i going to have to go with a 40 profile?

Well if you'd like the route that I took, my Fiance' GCSD3742 found perfprmanceplustires dot net in Calif. My tire and wheel package, balanced, nitrogen filled, and delivered to the house was just about $1300. I have the 45 profile, but I'm sure they can hook you up with what you're looking for. Told them that my truck would be going thru the Belltech Drop...and they took care of us.

Do they make this shock for a 7" drop. I have MCG's right now and the ride like ****. Can I run shock extenders with drop shocks?

Yes they make them for a 7 inch drop. I am running them on my 7 inch drop and they are great! I also upgraded my front struts to the Street Performance struts and I am very pleased.

An added note to the Nitro 2's. Eric and I recently bought over 1000 sq ft of tile and slate for the house. Along with that the thin set and all the other goodies. We had to make 2 trips, but that wasn't a big deal. Both loads were about the same. And not on the best road from Houston to Alvin, Hwy. 35, didn't bottom once and the ride was "Smood like Butta".
