Currently im working with mark at djm in making a DJM TB spring that will sit 3/4 to 1 inch lower than the one currently offered.

Currently on the 00-06 truck the tb djm rear spring gives about 5-5.25 inches and on the 07 ups about 4.75-5 inches.

The new springs we are shooting for about a 6 on the 00-06 trucks and o7 up about 5.5-6

I will need someone here in norcal to test them will take about 2-3 hours to do some testing and measuring. I will keep you guys updated hopefully by the end of october ill have them made

Can't wait to see these!! With a 6.5" drop on NBS trucks will a frame notch be needed?

well got the spring. it is 7/8 shorter than the belltech tb spring so Ill see where it sits. I know what the tb belltech rear coil put my trailblazer ss at so I will see if this spring sits lower. Its 11 1/8 inches tall vs 12 inches for the tb belltech spring

got them in my tb they sit about 5/16 lower than the belltech tb springs. I can still make them a 1/4 inch shorter so I will try that out also. Ill drive around on them for about 2-3 weeks let it settle then see if they come down more
