Belltech lowering kit installed, wheels no longer flush,..help please!


Recommended Posts

I had a belltech 3/4 drop kit installed on my 2011 yukon slt and now the two front wheels are no longer flush,.(it was originally installed at a 2/4 drop but then raised it an inch after, since the wheels kept rubbing on the wheel well since they arent flush anymore) the installer suggested i take it to a shop and have the cambers tilted 1-2 degrees negative and then have the wheels shaved down on the inside..this is dissapointing to me and i wanted to get another opinion.

A correct front end drop will ALWAYS require alignment / adjustment work. Just the way it is bro.

You change all the metrics of stock setup.

 

Ask me how I know ...

Thanks brotha,..i was just surprised because when i bought the truck it already had lowering spindles on it i think and i bought aftermarket wheels (26'' gmc replicas) which fit perfectly and now that i had the whole suspension re done, it doesnt fit perfectly anymore

When the springs was changed out (making it a 4" drop from the 2" drop}  is where the major change happened assuming you went with springs and spindles ...

What’s up with those giant spacers on the frt hubs , that’s kicking your wheel out , find shorter ones and if u go up or down on any vehicle u need an alignment, not to say that shop is right on the camber idea u don’t want to chew up tires.

Start up a SMD Garage. Up load there, then copy and paste to your threads.
