NORCAL SS Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 djm 3/4 kit is what i put on customers trucks no issues and no loss of turning radius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawaiianstyle Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I just measured from the ground to the bottom of the fender, front 36.5 and the back 39.5 and I have the same tire size, 275 55 20's. Can a 3/5 DJM kit fit also? Or would I have to go with the 3/4 DJM kit? I too, don't want to cut my frame, bouncy rear end, or to stiff.

NORCAL SS Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) I just measured from the ground to the bottom of the fender, front 36.5 and the back 39.5 and I have the same tire size, 275 55 20's. Can a 3/5 DJM kit fit also? Or would I have to go with the 3/4 DJM kit? I too, don't want to cut my frame, bouncy rear end, or to stiff. sounds like they used reg leafs on yours (like ruben 525 truck) which ive seen before. the 3/5 kit will work also but you will need to notch the frame. wait is this on a sss or other truck?

hawaiianstyle Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 do the djm 3/5 kit you will be fine. 7 inch rear drop is when you should notch the frame. With the measurments that I took and posted in the earlier reply. What would be my final measurements after a 3/5 drop? Just subtract 3 from the front and 5 from the back? Dumb question I know. No notching correct? And does DJM offer the sway bar with the 3/5 drop kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaiianstyle Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Norcal SS, I know you deal with DJM and everyone swears by it being the best. But I've been reading on other forums and they've been saying that mcgaughys are better and they've ran in to so much trouble with the DJM kits. If there were issues with the DJM kits before, were they all corrected. Here are two links to the forums I've been reading: http://performancetrucks.net/forums/showthread.php?t=479987 http://performancetrucks.net/forums/showthread.php?t=480216 But I really have my site on the DJM kits. Help me believe they are the best.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me believe they are the best.. its up to you. On the net you will hear a bad word before good. People always complain about turning loss with spindles. Either way its up to you ive installed numerous 3/5 kits no issues and sold many on gmfullsize also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
