BellTech 1060SP lowering kit review

[Rock Crawler]

hello, I am having trouble with the Belltech lowering kit(1062hk). The shop that I have my truck contacted me saying that the rear bracket for the axle does not line up at all. Contacted Belltech apparently a lot of people having the same problem. But they don’t have a solution. Waiting for them to talk with there engineers. But having my truck at the shop is not cheap. Need some help.

Did you start at the beginning of this thread? SVT40 had some issues as well. Reading from the beginning may provide some insight if it’s the same issues.

I have nothing to contribute but Im digging the street truck style.. its definitely different then what you typically see done to one of our Rams.

It looks like they need to start by cutting off more metal from the factory brackets so the control arms will fit. But I have no idea what the 3/5 kit contains as I did the 2/4 kit.

I had to grind down the top of the lobe from the original arm where I circled to get the relocating brackets to sit low enough.

The other brackets I had to elongate the holes so that they fit, circled that too.

For the away bar links I had to go buy some bolts. Hope this helps some.

Had my first haul with the new drop and wheels. Helper bags set to 16psi and everything went great

Looks great! Good job.

Lowram,

You should make a build thread in the Member’s Truck area so others can follow your build process.

Lowram,

What is your wheel size and offset and tire size? Do you have rubbing issues in the front?

Tires are 305/40 and Wheels are 22x10 -12 offset. I’m also running spacers. I get a little bit of rubbing at full lock, but just the fender liner not too bad.

305’s, a negative offset and spacers? I figured with all that the tire would be sticking out a lot more.

Is that the Clinched wide body kit on your truck?

Well, I added the fender flares so the goal was for them to sit flush with the flares.

Gotcha. Didn’t look close enough. Those flares are definitely wider than the stock ones.

Nice S1000 in the bed too. Or is an M. Hard to tell from this angle.

You pretty much had to do all the same things I had posted at the start of this thread with my build. Kinda sucks that Bell Tech still has not fixed the issues.

Thank you, it’s and M1000R

And yeah, I was disappointed as well. Read this post and was hoping it had been updated.
