Anyone with a bell tech 5/7 kit on a square?
I am looking into this kit and was wondering if anyone out there has it and can give me a heads up on fitment. I hear you can run the 3" spindle without having to grind it to clear a 15" wheel. Can anyone confirm this? I plan to run 20's on this truck, but I'd rather wait till everything else is finished before putting a few grand down on wheels...
Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Anyone with a bell tech 5/7 kit on a square?
A 15" wheel with more than 3.75" BS will need to have some grinding done to the lower a-arm.
No way around it. (15x8 ralley wheels have a 4" BS) There should be no grinding on the spindle itself. (I have seen other brand spindles need grinding around the upper ball joint, or some auto parts calipers needing a little grinding due to excessive casting size) Bigger rims will make these steps unnecessary. I always trim the lower a-arms anyway,... just in case you have to throw the stock wheels back on.

So 15x8 ralley's will work with 3" drop spindles without grinding the A-arms ?

Not without grinding. They have more than 3.75" BS. (4") Grinding is required. Takes about 5 minutes per side to slighty trim the lower edge of the a-arm.
