Has anyone else ever ran into this problem???

The passenger side went in FAIRLY well (still was not a real great fit).


HOWEVER

The driver side is not in, and cannot possibly go in.... "WHY?"

The holes that are drilling into the extension do not line up with the original shock mounting holes. I ****** with it for 30 minutes and nothing!

Anyone ever heard of this happening? Just started fixing my suspension and I am already running into problems! **** ME!

Same shit happened to me with the DJM ones. Weh I finally hustled them on with Home Depot hardware they came off later.
But then again what else can one expect with DJM...
Even their trailing arm relocators and sway end links presented a slight problem.

must of got drilled wrong from factory. Send them back and tell them one side is offset and wont fit. Hopefully they set it straight for you. Mine went right in, no problems.

Modded.... I actually feel a little better knowing that your DJM's had the same issue. I wonder if the mounting points on the truck are variable.... I just hope that AIM Industries can fix this before the end of the week. Having ONE installed is already pissing me off


TahoeWhat... I bought em local from AIM Industries... they are based here in town. I have to head down to their shop tomorrow afternoon I suppose

Is it me or do yours look different than the ones Norcall has listed on his site? This is part of a drop kit, but I would think the part would be the same regardless.

no, it is not a DJM... i forget who AIM rips off their designs from, but its someone elses design that they simply duplicate and fabricate.

and Modded you really got me thinking twice about a DJM kit. You seem to have a lot of issues with their stuff. I'm considering the ultimate cornering kit with upper/lower control arms and I haven't seen anyone else even close to what DJM offers. Its all aftermarket so I expect some issues here and there, but you seem to knock everything they make. what's the deal? Should I be looking at something else? Am I going to run into the same thing with their control arms? sorry to jack the thread, but shitz bothering me.
