If you go lower in the back I would do a c-notch. If not, your diff is gonna sit right under the frame. You can get leaf springs or take off the drop you have now and do a flip kit with spindles up front. I would probably run 295/35/22 with that drop. If the back is gonna go that low, I would think about bagging it also. Super easy on 2wd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymz Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 2" belltech spindles for the front. If you need a little more you can adjust your t-bars for another -1 to -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a little more you can adjust your t-bars for another -1 to -2 anyone know where i can get some stock spindles/hangars? also im looking at the djm 6'' flip kit with the c-notch and was wondering if i put on stock shackles and put my leafs in the top hole of my hangars to make a 7'' drop do you think that would fit and still have travel? id be putting on 285/35/22 or 295/35/22 tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not have very much travel actually. If you really wanna go low, I just say bag it altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the stock hangers to avoid problems with your pinion angle. Also, the DJM notch is the worst design compared to Belltech and McGaughy's. The notch is just a cover plate with reinforcement around the notch cutout, while the McG notch wraps around the bottom of the frame, and the Belltech notch completely boxes the frame. You will also need to make sure the offset on your rims is high enough or they will rub the fender lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
