jddmj Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Pros: Looks way better, better handling and easier getting into. Cons: The ride is never the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Cons, worring about bumps/holes all the time. but I'd be lowered again in a heartbeat. But id want another truck I didn't have to worry about so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TvsQuez Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Pros: Looks great Cons: Bottoming out all the damn time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simz28 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Mine bottomed out too, then bought some helper bags from air lift, never happened again. Handles way better with em too! I got a 2/4 drop with spindles, hangers and shackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdavid0412 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I did the 3/4 DJM kit. Rides fine but my CV's are smoked now. Looks bad a$$ though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Stock for me. I dont like the dropped look, I think the stock stance looks good myself. I like the ride, the ease of not having to worry about tearing apart my bumper cover especially during winter. Ice chinks can do a good bit of damage if your low and have the bumper act as a plow. I honestly think, it was built as a truck so why not leave it that way? The stance stock isnt as bad as most seem to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NORCAL SS Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 if you lower djm 3/4 kit with the belltech sp front shocks by far the best way. Now lots of customers dont want it that low on those trucks I put front belltech spinldes/rear belltech shckles/front/rear belltech shocks and the rear big djm swaybar. Truck corners much better and wont really have to worry about bottoming out. If you need pricing just hollar its been 10 years this month since I lowered the first customers 03 sss and its still fun doing them.

canadianVRss Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I agree I'm stayin stock height I also agree. Stock hight is already lowered 2" I was thinking about doing a 2/2 but I'm not too sure yet, drops can be such a pita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 There are no pros lol. I put 2" drop shackles in the rear just to even it out. Besides that I wouldn't drop it. I don't like lower riders myself. Just my opion. You should do what makes you happy. If you like it that's all that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmarian907 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 spend they money do it right and you will still have a good ride, i had 2k into mine through NORCAL and i was 5/8 and i had a great ride only peoblem i had were speed humps lol my trans crossmember would scrape evreytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 If you spend the money to do it coerrectly, and don't get crazy with the drop, the only con I see is limited towing capacity. That can be fixed with helper bags though. My 06 had belltech 2 inch spindles and belltech 4 inch drop leafs with edeldrock ias shocks. Rode great, but shackles and hangers wouldn't been even better for ride quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
