Tony thanks for the help and also for the DJM sway bars. Can't wait to see what a difference they make.

Just thought I'd post my experience from today installing DJM's rear sway bar on my '02 Denali. I have a 2/3 drop with 26" rims, DJM rear end links and shock extenders and have air ride working with the Arnott system and their Billstein rear air shocks. The first picture shows the passenger shock; notice the bottom isn't even in the extender and it's almost hitting the sway bar. I had to pull the top to the side, install the bottom bolt, then pull the top over and install that bolt. It fits. BARELY. I almost gave up and actually pulled the sway bar and compared it to the stock one again and could see it was real close to the shape of the stocker so I put it back in and bolted things up even though it touched in a couple places when the suspension was hanging, The left side hit on the differential as you can see. The part about the bolt touching my air shock bladder concerned me but it doesn't seem to hurt it; it only touches when the suspension is hanging IMG_4723.JPG IMG_4724.JPG IMG_4725.JPG . And as the suspension is loaded as the truck is lowered back down, everything moves into place and clears. I took it for a ride and all is good. Now when the front gets here I'll update after I install it. I have Energy Suspension end links waiting for that.

Here's an update on the front sway bar from DJM. My experience with this company has been horrible. They shipped the front on a separate UPS tracking # from the rear. The rear came with a hole in one end of the box and the hardware was almost falling out. At least I got it. The front was stopped at the UPS hub in my city and I got the message that it was " damaged/missing hardware". UPS sent it back to DJM. I figured they would see it was on it's way back, and send me another, but Tony at TBSS said they needed to get it back first. Fine. They got it back last Thursday, 2/4. It's now 2/9 and yesterday I emailed them asking for an explanation or at least respond. Nothing. I called Mike at DJM today and got his voicemail so I left a message explaining my situation and asking for a return call. Nothing. I ordered and paid for this on 1/27. It's going on 2 weeks and I can't even get a response from DJM. This will be the last time I buy anything from DJM. I advise anyone who deals with this company to be aware that customer service apparently isn't in their vocabulary.

Tony at TBSS (who I bought these through) came through and got the front shipped 2nd day air for me. And so here's a couple pictures of why UPS sent the first one back. You would think that if the first one had a damaged box, they would make sure the second one wouldn't. I mean, I don't like to ***** but I've shipped a lot of motorcycle and auto parts and I actually use bubble wrap so my shit doesn't bounce around in the box. DJM apparently doesn't see the need for it. There was nothing inside the box except the heavy-ass swaybar and the hardware pack.IMG_4731.JPG IMG_4732.JPG IMG_4735.JPG The hole was plenty big for the hardware to fall out, which was loose inside the box inside a ziplock bag. Wow.
