SURF Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I talked to a dude with a 2003 chevy silverado and he had a 4/6 drop. he told me that he had to cut the frame in order to install his DJM drop kit. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CUT THE FRAME FOR A 4/6!!!! There is a chance of rubbing but there should not be any cutting of the frame for another 4 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a chance of rubbing but there should not be any cutting of the frame for another 4 inches. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> To get 6" in the rear yes you do need to cut the frame, well unless you just plan on having your frame sit right on top of your axel housing I have 4" in the rear and I have right at 2" between the housing and the frame. I am about 3 1/2" in the front maybe a little lower but the front all depends on wheel and tire size as well I chose to run the stock SS/VHO size because I like how they fill up the wheel well so I can't go any lower in the front with out a ton of rubbing on the top of the fender well.

You need to first strip the rear suspention out from under the truck completely then support the truck infront of where you are going to cut the notch. If you support the truck behind where you cut the notch be ready for the frame to bend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURF Posted September 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 You have to cut it in the front and in the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
