So my Belltech kit 13001 is on its way.

Looking for good folks to chime in on:

What else should be changed while I'm in there?

I have already inspected the front, and all seems tight. When I say "inspected". Truck was lifted and pry-bars were used.

Thanks

Congrats on the new kit, When I installed my 21003 Kit the only thing I ran into is the RF Spring insulator was folded over in one spot on the spring perch, looked like it happened when it was assembled at the factory so I went to O'Reilly and picked up a new one even though I could have probably flattened out the original and installed it again I felt better with one that the rubber was not messed up.

Other than that the instructions were pretty straight forward, if you've ever installed Shocks/Struts before there is not much different with the coilover kits, Good Luck post pics :thumbup:

thanks for the part#

Well,
Apparently my kit is not on its way..

I purchased through "Auto Anything" $665 with $100 off.

I called and bitched. I received another $35 off.

I guess their waiting on a shipment from Germany.

New ship date is July 13. I'll follow up with pics.:th_crazy:

^^ What Justin said!

I'd recommend (depending on the mileage of the truck) do the ball joints (upper/lower) and maybe the hubs.

If your going to have it all apart and you will need an alignment......do it all one shot.

My post was a little unclear.

665 - 100 - 35 = 530

I don't mind giving a forum member the business.

I don't see a vendor for SS colly, I sent him a PM

Thanks for Info.

This too. Balljoints aren't expensive and you might as well do them too while it is all apart and only pay for one alignment. Hubs you probably should do if you are high mileage but to be fair..I didn't and I was at 175k on my OEM hubs. However, one was squeaking and needed to be changed.

@Kopack_05 he is a limited vendor under the classifieds. He does price matching too so let him know what you are paying and he may beat it.

How long have you been running the kit? Always wanted the 21003 kit for my ZQ8! Wish you were local so I could do a ride along. Lol

I had the 2x adj on my truck for about 5-7k miles before it was totaled but the difference was unbelievable. It was a whole other world of handling and I didn't even get into changing settings from the factory before my truck was taken away from me.

I've had mine on close to 40,000 miles and love it. No problems at all.
