    Installed the Belltech 2/4 drop on my Tundra. Running the OEM BBS wheels with Toyo Proxes 305/50/20.

    I just got the SOS lowering kit and airbags for my 2010 RCSB. Is yours 4WD? I’d never heard of Belltech before now. That’s a nice low stance. One of the nicest I’ve ever seen! I don’t think dropping 2” up front on mine would be good. Just a bit too low for farm work! Really like the wheels. Do those come in 18x8?

    Yes, I’ve already done that on a 2WD reg cab. It works really well. It’s got adjustable levelling positions so I should get it right. I have a build thread ‘pound puppy’ all on there

    No, 2WD. And I believe the 20x9 is the only size. They were offered through the dealerships as OEM.

    Front still needs to settle but the kit included the rear flip, new shocks all around and springs for up front. Drives so much better on road.

    I’ve got a friend in San Antonio had a RCSB I always gave him a hard time for the
    mileage. But now I’ve been bitten by the bug, I see them differently. Yours is a
    good looking truck.

    Looks good! Belltech made drop kits for chevys back In the day. I’ve had their 2” coils and 4” shackles on my 95 short wide. They made drop spindles too.

    Belltech was the best way to drop a Chevy back in the day. Are you still completely happy with this setup? I'm looking to lower a 2021 crew max.

    I have some squeaking in the rear at the shackles but I haven’t done anything to address it so might be simple. Other than that, it’s been good. I have the springs up front, axle flip in the rear and opt’ed for the upgraded shocks too. Rides nice and handles well. the lack of body roll for a truck is nice and I haven’t had any issues with it.

    I like that ride height. Is it possible to have a little rake using the bell tech kit?

    not sure how the weight would affect a crew cab. I’ll have to get back to you if the rear shackles have different hole heights. I cannot remember off the top of my head.
