[Duramax5]

Mine look like the 2nd 1's but with red bushings.as far as which are better I couldn't tell u

Bump grease fittings or bushings?

Bushings

 

[crazycrew]

The first ones are only 2" and they can be had cheaper at your local auto parts store! Mine look mike the 2nd ones except I have red bushings also.

I have used the Belltech 6403 shackles on two different trucks now. They say three inch but I see exactly two inches of drop at the wheel well. What do you guys do with the rear bump stops? Leave them as is, cut the stockers or replace with something aftermarket?

I cut mine to the dimple closest to the chassis!

do u have to cut them or can they be left?

 

[crazycrew]

If I didn't cut them, they'd only be about 1" away from touching!!

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up going with bushings and they should be here tomorrow or sat so ill throw some pics up either tomorrow afternoon or sat :thumb:

Good deal man. Glad you got it figured out! I removed my overload leaf also. If you do that, I'd def recommend traction bars!

I have a quick question for someone who has done this before. If someone can pm me their number or ill send you mine that would be a big help.....

I'm not to sure how to get these bolts out. Some dumbass engineer decided to put them in and create a lot more work.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys but we ended up getting it all figured out. It was a little more involved then I had originally though but the second side went a lot faster then the first. Ill get some pics up tomorrow when it gets light.
