Re: How to lower my 98 C2500?
Belltech has good quality parts.
Flip kit on an 8-lug set-up is the easiest way but yields ~8" of rear drop. At that amount the differential is close to contact @ the floor & there's only a little over 1" of travel between the c-notch bump-stop & the rear end. You'll likely need some lift shackles to get 7" of rear drop. I strongly urge some sort of under-bed step notch or modded bolt-in c-notch to beef the rail strength up. No sense having a 3/4 ton truck that can't do the work it's rated for. Front is straight forward w/3" spindles & a shorter front coil. Standard replacement shocks work as well. Rear shock angles are @ a poor angle after dropping & are different side to side from GM. Belltech makes relocation brackets for both the top & bottom to help correct things but there is still a difference in shock angle (it can be corrected). Belltech kit comes w/a spacer for the center carrier bearing. 5/7 drop in the pics..... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=816847
