That’s pretty low. Are you notching the bed?

Are you getting a shop to do this? If so, they should definitely be able to tell you what you should be using, and if not, find another shop!

10" is really dang low for a static drop, going that low you should really be looking hard at airbags or a hydraulic system.

If you are going static, you will definitely need shock extenders both top and bottom.

install the shock extenders and with the weight of the truck on the ground measure from mount to mount on both sides. Call belltech and give them the measurements.

yeah were gonna put a reklez step notch

Please take the bed off and remove the leafs before you notch!

We just had a thread about somebody trying to notch and ended up folding the frame because they 'did it in their driveway with their buddy for cheaper'

IDK if there is some trend happening with these trucks but I hope it doesn't last.

EDIT, I meant to say I hope the cheap slammed trend doesnt last. If your going to ride slammed, do it right.
