Belltech 5952 Drop Leaves
 
Need some input....I'm looking at lowering my '05 rcsb Sierra and made plans on a 2/4 with spindles, shackles & hangers & then I saw the Belltech 5952 3" drop springs. Kinda on the fence now...the truck does have a slight bit of lean on the driver's side and my reasoning says replacing the 160k old rear springs could solve some issues. I've already replaced the front springs, so we're good there. Are these Belltech springs a good route or should I stick with the original plan?

Belltech is still an industry leader so I would feel comfortable using any of their products.

Thank you for the response SCOTI! There are some advantages to this I can see & they are a quality company, for sure. I wouldn't have to worry about removing the front hangers and all the wear items would be fresh.

Plus.... If you have a lean from the existing springs, it should help correct that.

Exactly! That's a biggie!
