Belltech Lowering Leafs

I was wondering if any one has pictures of a lowered chevy or gmc with 4 inch drop leafs. I was also wanting to know if it changes the useabilty of the truck. I use my truck for work as well as fun but i hardly ever really load my truck but would like to keep that option open just in case.

ttt..

Me too...

I looked at buying some dropped leaf springs once but backed off and basically just removed the "recommended" leaves from mine to lower it slightly (app 2-3 inchses). I removed a coil from the front spring also.

Since I didn't haul in it, I couldn't tell much diffrence in the ride. The stance was helped though. Gave it a slight rake.

If you want to use it for work. You could always get some air bags for towing and pump it up a little before you load it up.

Also a C notch can be done.
