Slamming a 99-06 Silverado or Sierra with a Belltech 5/7 drop kit.

- Here’s a somewhat quick walkthrough I did when we dropped my buddies Silverado. We used a kit from Belltech. The quality of the kit was great. The quality of the truck, not as great, lol.
Watching that caliper hang from that brake line makes me nervous 😅
That hub bearing sounded bad when you turned it. I would have replaced those while I was doing the drop, especially if they’re the originals.
I would have replaced them wheel bearings.
Pretty Cool to see my old truck I built on UA-cam
Not a bad little truck. My buddy’s been having a lot of fun with it.
Great video, lots of useful information! Thank you for posting it..
Hopefully we will get more videos on this truck
Thanks man I used this vid to 5/8 drop my sierra.
What is the wheel specs
That’s clean af bro !!!
What size of shakles do u have on your truck
Beautiful Truck 🤘🏻
Do you still have the first c notch they sent you? Let me buy it from you pls! I got the wrong one for my truck 😞 IHC don’t make one with the dimple notches
@@ramirocastano1936 sorry brother. Already gone.
Looks good, that gen was lower than newer. Tub it out no problem w/22s
What's sides shock are for from and on the back thank look awesome
After having a cutting wheel come apart on me about a month ago, and subsequently breaking my finger....I cringed super hard watching you cut without a guard and having your face so close. I had my guard off too and it is now back on.
Have a question ? What is the difference between this kit (single cab short bed) and the extended cab kit ??
Nothing but the frame size might be different
Nice blue truck 👍
what size is the tires ?
Did replacing that leaf spring fix the issue of the diff leaning to one side like that when jacked up?
After replacing the broken leaf, it leaned the other way. lol. The rear suspension is being replaced this spring with something that can handle power.
On the drop did your drive shaft hit the ground?
Did you have any front Camber Issues with such a Low Drop ????
Yes. We could see the fronts have some camber to them. The truck went into storage for the winter shortly after we lowered it. So an alignment hasn’t been done yet. It’s getting one in the spring, and we’ll see how much can be corrected. I’m expecting it to always have a bit of camber unless we get into changing out control arms.
@@averagedadsgarage have you done the alignment on it? And did it fix the camber issue?
@@osvaldo0593 I would imagine its able to be ironed out so to speak in the alignment. this Belltech kit utilizes the oem suspension control arm and should retain factory suspension geometry but honestly id call Belltech and ask them if there is weird alignemt issues can can arise when lowering.
@SpeedyCanuck Nice job man. Thanks for making this video. I bought this c notch and will be using with a 2/4 drop. I noticed when you had the template up the original bump stop was not in the center of the notch. The kit moves the bump stop further to the rear. Why? Can I use it with a 4” drop without the flip kit?
I don’t know why it wasn’t centered. But it all seemed to work out fine. I’m not sure you’re able to get a 4” drop on those trucks without doing the flip kit. I feel like the hanger only gets you about 2”. And I believe it helps with your pinion angle as well.
@@averagedadsgarage yeah the drop kit I used has 2” drop hangers and 2” drop shackles. I wonder if the bump stop is moved further to the rear due to the flip kit leaf spring pins
What engine does it have? 5.3 or 4.8???
Sad little 4.8. Soon to be changed out for something a lot more rowdy.
Any chance you still have the notch plate that you didn’t use?
Pretty sure we scrapped it.
@@averagedadsgarage that’s the one I’ve got to have mine is the 5” inch dimpled frame.
What year did you get the HD hood off of????????
99-02 2500HD year models
Looking good. But I think them wheels gotta go 👌
Fr
Mi truck is 5/7 drop and is perfect 👌
nice
Do you need a custom sway bar link?
Nope.
Where did you get yours?
I was trying to use my oem ones but they were too long.
My buddy just went to the local parts store and bought the factory replacements. Haven’t had any problems.
What size tire and wheel?
265/35/22
@@averagedadsgarage thank you!! Truck looks great.
How much would this labor usually cost?
It does take time to do a job like this. A shop could charge a couple grand.
@@averagedadsgarage not even bro these jobs are around 700$ but anyways great detailed video
It took me 2 days to lower front and rear taking my time its not too bad of a job.You definitely need help with rear axle though. Take care
im paying 2000 total for a complete 5/8 drop with a under bed notch on a extended cab silverado, it has a 3 inch lift right now
Well ....maybe in canada its expensive. Houston, where like 35% of the population is scrapeing😁😁 700$ labor avg !!!
Whow,
Curb rash.
Never lower. Higher better. Give me a lift package. That's All!
You prefer a lifted 2wd?
To low 4/6 is better stance
Cant you just roll the front fenders too and keep the 5in drop in the front?
Not with the way these Chevs are designed. You would have to lose the inner fenders if you want to roll the outer.
