I'm doing a frame-up on a 68 GMC 1/2 ton and tonight mounted my Belltechs on all four corners. The rears are fine( 4" drop) but the front's travel distance are extended all the way out. The front has 1 coil cut off with 2.5" dropped spindles but I know the spindles doesn't make a difference with the shocks.I ordered 0"-2" dropped shocks. There are no weight on the frame.(no cab, no motor, no trans,etc) Do you think by the time the cab is mounted, the engine and trans are in, and the front clip are on that it will give me some travel distance on my shocks. If I had ordered 3"-4" shocks they would have really been short. Any suggestions or comments. Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks, Bryan |

By the way this truck has a 75 model 5-lug front end under it if that makes any difference.

I'm running them on my '71 2wd Blazer. 2.5 drop spindles and 2 inch drop coils. No problems. You will be fine once the weight is on. I've run them on several dropped vehicles. ('79 2wd Blazer, '82 2wd Blazer, '91 suburban)

I've run a pile of them on 88 and newer dropped trucks.
Believe me, the weight will drop it way down. Relax and wait till you're done. You'll be happy.
