alex.t Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 depends how low your lookin i think a 2/4 drop looks really good , 2" spindles in the front and 2" hangers and 2" shackles for the rear. im sure a more experienced guy will help you out , i believe norcalss sells all the parts you need and has all info also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTYW Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 2 inch spindles or 3" DJM a-arms for the front. I am hearing a lot of good things about the arms. Shackles and hangers in the rear. NorcalSS is very knowledgeable and helpful if you are looking to discuss the pros and cons and help with picking out the best stuff. He sells everything you need also.

T-Bag Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Also if you go four out back a c-notch is a good idea. You will also need drop shocks. In front your bump stops (jounce bumpers) will need a trim. The rear bump stops (jounce bumpers) will need to be removed thats if you go 4". Just trim em if you go 2" Edited January 19, 2012 by Bad Ass Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLOWN SS/T Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Ive been wanting to drop mine too, just got off the phone with a suspension shop. I'm debating between a 3/5 or 4/6. Anybody got pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fors Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Used norcals 3/4 drop on 22's, had to use the camber kit to align the truck within factory recommendations but still wasnt quite enough to get it perfect. Lowered it a little more using the keys, had to have both my from cv axes extended because the passenger side kept poping out and busting the whole axle up ( huge headache trying to figure out why it was doing that months after I lowered it ). Ill go take some pictures and post for you guys. Here we go, some old and some new. Best I can do for right now.

NORCAL SS Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Djm kit is meant to be used with stock keys. Ive never had one that had your issues of popping out here locally. Usually for those guys that want more than 3 inch drop i do spindles/3 inch lower a arms and rear 7 inch flip kit and not one issue to date. DJM offers upper a arms also which fix balljoint issues/new bushings etc. Lots of timeson guys trucks with higher mileage I end up doing the uppers/lower/shocks so pretty much new front end.

Fors Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Up front I did use the 3 inch spindles but no a arms, having my cv axles extended didnt cost me but 35 dollars so im sure it was a lot less money and time involved to fix the problem, the only headache I had was figuring out that it was poping the axle out of the joint because I would have thought it would do that on day 1.....not months and months later, also only one side? weird much. Its all good though, wish I could have it aligned to a T though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
