Belltech flip kits come with a carrier bearing spacer that require you cut the bottom of the cab to clear the driveshaft. You have to cut the cab support after installing the spacer or else you won't be able to get the carrier bearing in place.

Huh, I didn't see the cab cut but I did add another 1/4 " on top of the 1/4 " plate that was under the carrier bearing to give it an almost 0 to 1 degree drop., leaving 3 to 4 degree positive from the carrier to the diff. Note that I used the 05 factory tranny mount which was a bit thicker than the 700r4 mount. I bought the truck with the drop so Red may be right about Cab but I didn't see anything cut except the frame and they pulled a leaf out also. I will tell ya though the 5.3 oil pans sit a good 2" below the front suspension leaving it vulnerable

Add a skid plate, just in case. Anything to prevent breaking the pan. The LS1 pan sits way higher.

Thanks for the info guys! Looks like I still have over an inch even with the half inch spacer under the bearing. I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow. Time to rest..........

I'm thinking it was a 2 x 2 square tube.

There would be a piece of 2 x 2 square tubing between the crossmember at the carrier bearing and there will be a piece of the body brace cut out to clear the topside of the driveshaft if you have that type of relocater.

OK , double checked underneath today,
Found nothing cut, but I need to correct the spacers used
Under tranny mount was 1/2 " spacer and 11/4 spacer under carrier bearing leaving the drive shaft pretty much dead nuts to the carrier with a 1 to 2 degree negative to the diff.
checked the power steering pump it was pretty quiet but I did notice the fan clutch was binding more than on my 04, so thats a good enough excuse to go with electric fans
