Just a simple 2/4 drop for a friends truck. Belltech drop kit with belltech sport shocks. Get you merch by clicking the link below! www.ebay.com/sch/claudioherna...
This is a 2/4 drop. With. 4/6 you don’t do anything with the shackles, but you do need a C- notch in the frame, shorter shocks, and a new tail pipe. I did mine without removing the rear end.
Forced to go off of this install video because Rough Country seems to have very recently deleted theirs right after I bought my kit to lower my truck. Coincidence, I think not. Anyways, I am pretty mechanically inclined and you took far too many unnecessary steps but at least it gives me something to go by. Lol
@@ericdata1 if ur stock in the front and just throw 2inch shackles in the rear it honestly doesn’t ride different to me, just did it on mine 2 days ago
so today i started from 8:30 am and finished about 10 at night but i put one hanger and shackle on and the hanger on the gas tank side doesn’t align with the holes where u grind and hit out with a punch and hammer could you help me out by telling me what i did wrong ?
get a tread rod from the hardware store, washers, nuts and from the bottom corner of the bumper to the top radiator support they have a hole go tru there, and I bet it never sag again
hello i have a 2014 silverado 1500. i purchased 3 inch ndrop shackles they are too long is it good to cut the bed so they fit or just install new drop hangers and is it proper to reuse factory hangers if they are in goo shape ill just be turning them over or should i by new ones thnx so much
I’m trying to replicate a reverse level on my 2015, I installed 3” drop shackles but it still has a rake of 1 to 1 5/8ths will it be bad if I take out the rear blocks to get it level? Will it mess up anything in the long run like with the bump stops and stuff?
So the rear front hangers u don't do anything, just the rear hangers n shackles change out. I just got a 99 sierra, I want this 2/4 drop too, what is best for the front, drop spindles or drop key? I have both. For the rear I just need the shackles n hangers for it.
Hey bro so I got 2" drop shackles for my 04 single cab chevy. It still looks higher from the back tho. So I order the hangers 2"drop now. But my hangers say they go in FRONT of the rear leaf springs can they be put in the back like you did?
No the hangers are different. The holes on the front hanger are staggered and the holes on the rear hanger are parallel. The front hangers are designed to drop the truck more but the rear hangers will lift the truck. The is because there is not much clearance in the back between the bed and the rear hanger so the rear hangers can only lift it
@@elgallobuilt6841 no bro the 04-07 crew cab front leaf hanger is welded on, so you cant change them youre forced to do flip kit and then flip leaf rear hanger
Not sure if there is a way to lift it one more inch if you have the drop control arms. You would have to put back the original control arms and swap them for a 1” drop spring and the 2” drop spindle. Only other option is getting smaller tires but that would also give you less ground clearance.
I have 02 silverado extended cab I bought rear 2in lowering shackles at autozone and rear lowering 2in hangers online with 2in lowering springs online for the front looks badass..
@@dleyba8074 a lil late but i got a 03 extended cab g and i’m trynna see what yours looked like with all that. if u got a pic or vid of it lemme know plz
I’ve preferred to go ahead and do the complete control arm because it’s a lot quicker. Just two bolts 😂 But I didn’t realize the parts store didn’t have any in stock and he had already ordered them so had to wait for them.
Alright guys I needs yalls help, I have a 04 silverado thats has a 4/6 drop. Im wanting to go 2 inches up in the back and front. I see that the front has dropped coil springs with 2 inch spindles. The rear has the axle over the leaf springs (im assuming this is the 6 inch flip kit?) Whats the best way to achieve a 2/4 drop
put the stock coil springs back on for the front. for the rear, flip the axle back like stock, buy lowering hangers and 2 inch drop shackles, that will give you the 2/4 drop that you are looking for.
07 sierra classic bought 4 in drop for rear , my question is if the shims are separate from the kit or usually are the ones at the old knes from the truck.?
Brooo I’ve fixed this guys bumper so many times it’s not even funny. Bad part is all of them weren’t his fault. At this point I told him to just get a complete steel bumper so all he gets is a little scuff 😂
I have a 99 nbs gmc I wanna drop it more in the rear I have 2 inch shackles if I do flip kit would I need a notch? N could I use the oem u joints for the flip kit?
Yes you will need a notch. An flip kit drops it 6” so with your drop shackles you’ll be at 8”. The kit will come with new u bolts to be more secure. I would recommend a step notch is your going as low as 8” in the back 👍🏽
Yes you need to use stock shackles with the rear lift hangers. If you want to do a 4” drop in the rear you just need the 6” flip kit, a stock shackle and the rear lift hangers. Second option is doing front 2” drop hangers and 2” rear drop shackles.
@@elgallobuilt6841 Did they send you the shims with the kit? I have a 2012 GMC 1500 Denali AWD crewcab. I want to do a 2/4 drop on it but not sure about the shim size. I would go lower but I still pull my boat with it.
Step by step process , very informative . Awesome video . Thanks for posting .
Gallo you should of used a BFH to get the ball joint to separate from the spindle. Works for me every time.
I had no idea a 4/6 drop was so difficult and time consuming. I'm all DIY so might as well add it to my list of things to do to my rebuild. Lol
It takes 1hr for a flip kit install having all the tools ready to go
Awesome. I'd take lessons from you. Great narration very informative
What kit did you use on his truck? I've got the same style and am interested in doing this. Any idea on part number from belltech?
Nice job, I like the way you lowered the diff on the cart with the tire. 👍🏻
This is a 2/4 drop. With. 4/6 you don’t do anything with the shackles, but you do need a C- notch in the frame, shorter shocks, and a new tail pipe. I did mine without removing the rear end.

You can buy 2 inch shackles and get that same drop i have them on my truck and it looks the same
hows the ride with the shackles?

Hey quick question 2010 Silverado are hangers removed for 2/4 drop
You don’t got a link for the drop kit that you used? cuz I been looking for the rear hangers but I can’t find them on the bell tech website
That’s what I wanted to do but I put spacers on wheels. Now I’m not sure I can

I got the rough country lowering spindle it wont go all the way up on lower ball joint
Do you need new shocks for the rear ?
When you removed the bump stocks the axle doesn’t hit the frame?
Good work mijo

He’s working on getting a complete new bumper. The one he has now is pretty banged up

Hey gallo how can I lift my truck From the front like a inch because I have a 4/6 and the front wheels rub on the tubs
What do you have on it now in the front to give it the 4” drop?
Lower and upper control arms
Not sure if there is a way to lift it one more inch if you have the drop control arms. You would have to put back the original control arms and swap them for a 1” drop spring and the 2” drop spindle. Only other option is getting smaller tires but that would also give you less ground clearance.
Can I just replace the upper control to the original and leave the lower control arm?
Will that lift it?
you could but I’m not sure how much of a lift that would give you.
Nice work N clean....can u help me with some info...what’s the lowest kit I can use on my 02 Silverado without having to use a c notch
Lowest drop without a notch is a 2/4 drop. When you go up to a 5” or 6” drop you really should get a notch.

Knock out ball joint rivets and bolt in new ball joints, sure is smarter n cheaper than buyin a new control arm

I have a 2008 Silverado. I want to drop it 2/4 what all do I need to make the drop legit. And what brand should I use
Hector Casarez have you found out?
Belltech for the rear and Moog for the front end
Do you know what shocks you used for this?
I have 20" shock on my truck
Do I need to use stock shackles with those rear hangers to get a 4” drop
Yes you need to use stock shackles with the rear lift hangers. If you want to do a 4” drop in the rear you just need the 6” flip kit, a stock shackle and the rear lift hangers. Second option is doing front 2” drop hangers and 2” rear drop shackles.
Ok thanks for the advice
@@elgallobuilt6841 Como estas enque siuda estas cupo travajo Como te puedo cominicar con tigo
@@elgallobuilt6841 are the rear lift hangers used so it don’t hit the frame? Or what of the benefits of doing it that way?
So much for finishing early
Tell me about it 😂
How much was the lower control arms
Almost $400 for both
Were did you get the shims
You can either find them on Belltech’s website or on eBay. Just search for pinion angle shim
u should fix the bumper is real easy fix and the truck would look way better
Is that shim a 2° or 3° ?
2.5 degree
If I lived in Texas Id pay you to do mine
Would a 3/5 drop on a 04 Silverado Ext Cab be a leveled drop?
Yeah
Were you located bro? Houston?
Yes sir
Its needs more cow bell
How much was labor?
With the drop kit and and labor i did it for 500 but this was my old kit. Helped out a homie and initiated him into the cuhh world 😂
Does it ride rough?
No sir the belltech shocks ride really good
Appreciate man💯 keep up the good work
Thanks brother I appreciate it 🙏🏽
He should’ve just used the shaclkes to lift it up instead of the hangers
How can I contact you?
Instagram @ElGallo_Built
That bolt is not tall enough for the shim and the flip. I would be shocked if it did not fail fast .Any real HP would have slid that out fast .
Your u bolts are side ways

Dam all that work for 2/4 🤦♂️
Yeah axle flip kits suck. Lowering shackles and hangers gets you the same drop and its way less work.
Yeah I did 2in hangers and 2in shackles rear lowering with 2in spring in the front way easier.. I have 02 silverado
Sheesh just lowering the rear of the truck looked like 2 years to do it
all the 2/4 drops ive seen you dont need to drop the rear axle but idk lol i agree
