Belltech Install
I just ordered a Belltech 2/2 drop kit for my 03 ECSB 4x4. Front spindles, shocks, rear shackles, and shocks (kit 678SP)
Ive read through the install instructions and have a pretty good idea of whats going on and how its all done.
Im wondering if there is anything I should plan on breaking, needing extra of, or needing to replace during the install? Looking at the directions Im not sure if the kit comes the U bolt spacers to remove the blocks on the rear axle or not, and if not - whats the best route to go about this? Also - is there anything else I can do during this process to get a little lower (ie the rear block, letting torsion bars all the way out, etc)?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

You can remove a leaf in the rear to get it down another inch while the suspension is out

I don't reccomend letting the Tbars all the way out, yes they're meant to be adjustable but don't let them all the way out your truck will ride like absolute garbage

Rough idea of how much towing capability Ill lose if I pull a leaf out?
The truck is (and needs to stay) a daily drive/toy (other toys that is) hauler.
Id imagine a couple bikes (motorcycles) in the bed wouldnt be an issue after taking one leaf out, but how about about my boat, or enclosed trailer?
I dont plan on dropping the T bars all the way (hopefully) - maybe just enough to square the truck up after the rear is done.

I only know a couple guys that dropped a leaf and they dont tow or haul anything. So idk about that

Do not remove a leaf you will hate it I did on one of my regular cabs I put it back a month later!
