Coil relocators from McGaughy's retailer, maybe some forum vendors? If not PM me I know where to get them. They're adjustable from 0"-2" drop.

I just put shackles on and removed the lift block today and my truck is 35.5" rear and 35" up front. Now I need something to lower the front an inch maybe two. I'm in for feedback as I wanted the Belltech drop struts.

Dang. Dunno what's different about mine, but with the drop spindles, coil relocators and both the spacer rings in it bump steers like crazy. And the alignment is ok, but just on the edge of ok ("in the green" when I take it to an alignment shop) and there's no adjustment left. Glad other guys are having better luck though.

Mine bumpsteered worse with the coil relocators and stock coils as compared to the bell tech struts (set 2" drop) and stock coils.

I'd much rather use the factory struts, nothing against the guys who like belltech but I'd be surprised if they're anything more than offshore struts that just adjust up and down. GM struts ride great and relocators can't wear out...my .02. BTW when I ditched my belltech struts they sat on here and gmfs.com for six months and I was selling them for 1/2 what I paid, nobody wanted them...
Thank you. I have Belltech struts on mine and it rides like the strut might as well be a solid tube of steel. HORRIBLE ride.

What does your front suspension consist of? Is it stock with just the drop struts?

Belltech's drop spindles, coils and adj. struts. I'm considering putting the stock struts back on and doing a coil relocater. Horrible ride for only compressing the suspension 2"
