    Cool Anyone w/06 SSS w/stock suspension and tires?

    Hey I installed 2" Belltech drop spindles and 2" rear shakles. And 4 Belltech performance street shocks.
    I wish I would have measured the rear hight. I really like the looks of the front.
    But it does not look like the rear got lowered much.
    So can one of you guys with stock a suspension pick two points on the rear and tell me what stock hight was?
    Like measure from the center wheel well (outside body) to a point on the wheel or tire? If you have stock tires tell me where you took the measurements from. If not stock tires and stock wheels please tell me where you take the measurements from so I can check how much the 2" rear shakles lowered my truck.
    I have stock tires and stock wheels.
    Oh bye the way the Belltech componants are great and installed like a breeze.
    Like I said the front looks GREAT.
    Just trying to decide if I want more for the rear...
    THANKXXX

    well I have an 06 SSS and lowered it...I started with a 2/2 the same set up you have but the ass didnt do what i wanted it to so i got hangers and made it a 2/3.5ish drop and now its perfect......Yiu have an 06 so you shouldnt have needed to buy shocks?????? I still run my stockers with no problems

    when you put the 2" drop shakles did the rear get down to the bump stops? my bellteck shakles have the axle just touching the bump stops? so when you made your shakles did you modify the stops?
    the look is starting to grow on me, and i definately like the ride and feel of the new shocks. money well invested.
    thanks in advance!

    yea, i had like 3k on mine when i lowered it, trimming the bump stops up front makes it ride alot better...cause it rides on them. lowering the rear 1-2in more than the front makes the truck look more aggressive.
