NORCAL SS Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) btw here is the 5/8 with rear belltech notch kit. I will be doing the 22x10 with 285 35 22 in about 2 weeks for him since i have those wheels here. actaully 265 35 22 front and 285 35 22 rear to give it a little bigger tire in back.

OUT2WIN Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 i would do the djm 5 inch a arms in front due to the fact that it replaces upper/lower a arms and aligns great and ride is nice in rear if you have the money id do the belltech c notch its about 200 more but the notch wraps the frame fully. I deal a lot with all the kits and either way ive never had issues doing them. on customers trucks with the ss conversions ive done on the 22x10 silverado ss wheels with a 5/7 drop 285 35 22 and its good to go. Can you get me a part number for 5 inch a arms for a torsion bar equipped truck please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I think I'm gonna go with 285/35/22 but I don't think I wanna go lower then a 4 in the front. For the kit I'm looking for how much will that run me with shocks? Will I need a camber kit?

NORCAL SS Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Can you get me a part number for 5 inch a arms for a torsion bar equipped truck please? on customers trucks i use the djm 3 inch lower a arms with belltech drop spindles and its 5 inches and no issues. I have one guy brougth me his truck early 2003 with less than 30 miles on it and i did the djm 3 inch front arms with 2 inch spindels and djm shocks and rear belltech 8 inch kit and now with over 130k on the truck there has not been one issue. Only thing was I changed the balljoints a few years ago. IM really tight with the guys at DJM due to me machining their a arms for the trailblazer ss guys now. that and im working with them on a exclusive swaybar package for the tbss guys. btw djm has 1.5 inch swaybars out for the trucks.

Ruben525 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 What all dose the swaybar do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORCAL SS Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 the swaybars cut down a lot on lean. the belltechs are nice front 1.25 and rear 1 and just less bends then other brands making them more rigid. I install those things a lot also. putting the front/rear swaybars makes these trucks corner a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruben525 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 O ok damn if only you were closer u I would just have you do the drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORCAL SS Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 BTW I HIGHLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rec. the djm upper a arms which fix balljoint/alignment issues when going this low. plus your replacing both the upper/lowers so you have a new front suspension kit pretty much.

Oh ok that's what I used also. I was thinking you knew of a 5" a arm. That truck sounds like its setup like mine except I went down on the torsions also. BTW I HIGHLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rec. the djm upper a arms which fix balljoint/alignment issues when going this low. plus your replacing both the upper/lowers so you have a new front suspension kit pretty much. Are the uppers the same as the ones used on trucks with coil springs or are they for torsion bar equipped trucks? I need some upper control arms.

Have you ever notched a bed on the SSS or VortecMax with a 14 bolt rear diff? I can PM you if we have gone off topic but this might be helpful for Ruben525 in the future.
