Mostar Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 I just bought a Belltech lowering kit for my '05 GMC Envoy. Just wanted to know if any one has installed a similar kit? If so I wanted to get some feedback on the install and ride quality. Tips, tricks, things to be aware of, etc...

Aaron813 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 It includes:2 Each - Lowering Strut 2 Each - Rear - Street Performance Shock 1 Pair - Rear Coil Springs - 3" Shit ive never lowered a vehicle in my life but if that is all there is then that should be easy as cake to do just taking stuff off and bolting stuff on in place of the old parts. Basically just replacing those parts with the new parts Quote
BAGGEDBIRDS.com Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 How much drop is it? I did our kit on our 03 Trailblazer. Using the kit as it comes it comes it should ride ok. I have a McGaughys kit so the parts are different. The first time it wasn't low enough and i cut the McGaughys coils and it rode horible. I am back to my un-modified McGaughys kit and its fine.

Mostar Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Posted June 16, 2009 I've been looking around on line about lowering an AWD Envoy with this kit. Some guys are saying to get DJM upper control arms to take stess off the ball joints and to correct camber issues. But other people with the same kit are saying that they just used what came with the kit and had no probs. Any input on this?

BAGGEDBIRDS.com Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 the McGaughy's kit has a 1.3" drop front coil. McGaughy's only went wit hthe 1.3 drop because at a 2" drop the camber couldn't be brought back into spec. So with the DJM if you want to align it and run the 2" drop in front you should put on the upper arm that DJM makes. DJM may have changed the angle of the balljoint on that upper arm also but I don't know one way or the other on that fact.
