I have a set of bell tech coils, they are different heights and should be marked for which side they go on.

How much of a difference is there on them? I'm going to talk to belltech and see about getting a new set of springs
Finally had time to talk to belltech, who sent me to kw automotive. They want pics of the springs under full load. I took a bunch of different pics with tape measure in pic but I don't know how to get a good pic. The spring pocket covers most of the spring. Any thoughts?
KW automotive were great about my spring situation. I sent a few pictures to them yesterday at 4pm, by 11am today I got an email that they are sending out a new set of springs. I'm very happy, hope to get back to driving it.
My springs came in today! They are exactly the same size. I was 99% sure the last ones were the same also. Hope to get them in soon. Right now my motorcycle is in a million pieces so that needs to get put back together too. Rewiring it so all switches are off the handlebars
Got my spring replaced today. Everything is good again. The old spring was either made a half in short or it was compressed that much. Still not sure how I could have done it
Been talking about pulling the middle leaf out for months, got to it yesterday. It looks allot better. Still need some bigger rear tires.
Blew a tire 2 weeks ago on my way home from work. Truck was sitting til today. Got all new tires, the ones I had were to small. Hope the new ones look better.
I would think looks better is not as high on the totem pole as, holds air better!
Got the new tires on, rides and looks a million times better. I'll try to get some pics up tonight. I ran into an odd problem this morning, I replaced my standard brake light bulbs for red led bulbs, I had painted ones and they looked bad, so I step on the brake and my dash lights come on! I'm thinking I need a resistor, wondering if anyone has had that problem? I also have led dash lights so I don't think there is enough load on everything.
Likely, the LEDs are not pulling enough so the modual may think one is out. Seen this on other cars.
yeah I've had the same problem with a few vehicles you need a load resistor on each light.http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...r-kit/190/831/
Might order a couple sets and install led turn signals also. I got pilot brand 1157 for the brakes, they are really bright.
Think I can install that behind the light housing? Looks pretty weatherproof.
yep their water proof to the most part. remove the tail light, use some sheetmetal screws to attach it to the steel some where in the light pocket then wire it in, I usually solder it and use heat shrink when installing them as I hate the scotch lock's they come with.For turn signals just get the http://www.grote.com/product.php?product_number=44891 and you're good to go. I have 2 in mine, 1 for turn and 1 for hazards as i run LED's in my front bumper and my gauge cluster I changed to use 2 LED's for the turn signals.
Ok. Thanks
Those things get hot as the light bulbs do when in use. Keep them clear of paint and plastics

I'm concidering putting drop spindles on my truck, it's already down 2.5 with the belltech drop springs. Will I have any issues? My tire size is 225/45/17 on escalades. I asked on the Facebook page and got 2 completely different answers. One said no prob and the other sent a pic, he's down around 5in, and says he has trouble turning. Any thoughts?
im running 205/45/17 with 5" drop in the front and its pretty dam close. any bigger and i would definetly rub. but seeing how your doing 4.5", you might be alright.
Bobbyk Could u post a pic of your truck or email me one? I'd like to see how close it is.
i'll post some pictures when i get home tonight

i hope this helps alittle.
First, thanks! I think I'm gonna do it. Looks like I'll be close. U look like u have more room than I expected.
no problem. i think you'll be fine, if not then just put smaller tires up front. a good stiff drop shock will also help. im running toxic shocks and only rub sometimes when someone is driving with me.
Got my drop spindles today! They are airbagit brand, I got them from amazon.com for $217. That is the lowest price I could find. How much of a pain is it to install them? Prob not gonna happen any time soon since it keeps snowing or raining here and I have the worlds smallest garage.
