Message:
alright guys i just got my belltech 2/4 on. man those rivits are a bitch anyway the front dropped about 2 1/16 and the back dropped about 6. so it looks a little weird to me. the tires in front are about 3/4 of an inch farther from the fender but belltech told me that after a month the coils would break in and the truck would level out if not im going to whack a coil out of those springs. well the only other problem is when i back up i get a loud clunk about 10 feet into the backup any ideas or suggestions on this or the leveling problem

the rear dropped 6 inches? that doesnt sound right? and for the popping noise, my guess would be to check your shocks, i didnt install mine tight enough by accident, and it did the same thing.
