Well i ordered belltech drop coils 2in, and 3in drop leafs. Total came to $440 shipped from stylin concepts, ( they offered free shipping on everything until th 31'st, but I had to pay a oversize fee $25. I already have 2in drop shackles so that I can do a 2/5 if the 2/4 isnt level.
My question is does anyone have any experience with the 3in drop leafs?? If so how do they ride, handle??
And yes I know I will have to c-notch the frame. And yes i know that i will lose some payload capacity. The only thing that I will be hauling is my 2005 Honda 450r 4-wheeler.
thanks in advance.

In stead of a notch I would get some Air Lift slam air helper bags. I have no experience with rear lowering spring but if they are like lowering coils its going to be a rough ride. Also with the front coils most people don't have good luck getting the camber back to spec. So your tires are going to wear on the inside faster than the outer. Let us know how close the alignment shop gets it back to spec.

 

Air bags arent gonna help the ride any more than a drop leaf will. But they will keep your from bottoming out. I havent bottomed out at all with my leafs. Ride doesnt bother me either.

 

Well as for the alignment that will be no problem, Ill do that at my shop, I am a auto tech. If you can get the camber into spec with a 4 in drop , Than I think I will be just fine with a 2in coil.. I was just concerned about how the leafs handle, all of my loweed vehicles where done with blocks in the past. So i was just curious.
Thanks

 

You wont even no the baggs are on there other than you wont here the rear end bang into the frame rail. They are really smooth.

 

I wont need bags. The frame will be notched.

 

Because your's are Hotchkis. I rarely bottomed out in my '99 with Hotchkis.
