Belltech adjustable struts real #'s
Done the belltech 2" shackles and removed the lift blocks. Now the rear sits about 3/4" lower than the front....
So my question is the belltech's are only 1" or 2" drop and are they a true 1" and 2" ?? I want a small amount of rake to the front.
This is on my 2011 6.2L CCSB Z71 A/T

the struts come with 8 rings that are .5" deep. With all 8 rings on you get a 2" lift. By taking a ring off you get a .5 lower drop which ends up to be a 1.5" lift, or remove 4 rings and get an even ride which is a 0" lift/drop, or remove all 8 rings and get a 2" drop and so on. if you still want a little rake to your truck you could do 3 rings which is a .5" drop which should put you at 1/4 inch higher in the front if your truck really is at 3/4" higher right now.
***btw, besides the eight .5" rings, you also get a .8 ring but I believe you dont take that one off( i remember that one was for trucks with autoride or something??). the instructions are really good and should explain everything up better than me.

Okay so this helped a bunch! So it is possible to do a 1.5" drop with this setup? I don't think 1" will get me a noticeable rake, but 1.5" would and by not going the full 2" I should have a better chance at getting the alignment to work without having to buy a camber kit. Sound right?

How do you know if your pinion angle is off? Something you can hear or feel?
