3/5 DJM with 24's

Nelson · Jan 28, 2011

Here are some pics of the 3/5 drop from Tony with TB coils.
305/35/24. Pulled the Air bags out and went this route. The ride is great. Front is 31.75" and rear is 32.75". If your on the fence thinking about this kit I would recommend it. Tony was great to deal with everything shipped fast and arrived when he said.

so you removed your air ride?

Nelson · Jan 28, 2011

No it was bagged before. Air bags are great just not if you live somewhere that it snows. Got tired of my valves freezing.

right on another happy customer. I know a lot of people are on the fence about the tb springs but hands down the djm tb springs with the rear djm shocks/hardware kit is the best riding 4 inch plus kit out there and also sits the lowest.

hell the tb springs ride even better than the 3 inch ones ive installed.

btw here is the kit he ordered from me

man that looks real good bro.. love those wheels

07Burb · Jan 28, 2011

Nelson....did you do this install yourself? If so, how difficult and how long did it take you?

Nelson · Jan 28, 2011

Yeah I installed it myself. They are easy took about 2 1/2 hours. I had to fab new lower coil mounts since my where cut off when it was bagged and I my rear bump stop brackets where already off. I was a suspension installer for 15 years so I have these down. If it was your first time and just using hand tools it would be all day job but nothing that you can't do in your driveway or garage.

07Burb · Jan 28, 2011

I've talked with tony about just rear springs for a 2" rear drop but the more I see you all with your 2/4 and 3/5 drops I'm starting to rethink especially if it's something that can be done in the driveway. I'm a do-it-yourselfer so try to do all I can on my own

Good info to have! Thanks!

I would go for the 3/5 glad I did. Installed a ton of the 2/3 mostly on soccer mom rides they look good but not a whole lot of difference from stock.

love the truck good job, nelson what did you do with the air bags and what name brand were they.

07Burb · Jan 29, 2011

With that 3/5 can you still run the stock rims and tires for the winter months? I've got a feeling that the answer is a "no" on that but thought I'd ask. We get snow where I'm at and stock rims and tires makes it quite a bit easier to get around in it!
