DJM Trailblazer 5 inch plus Drop springs Review

[matt14]

So, i have about 75miles on the springs and they have lowered the truck about 1/2" from were i was prior with the DJM 5" springs. Right now i sit at 32.75" inches from the floor to the fender. Will need to let settle for a while before we get a accurate measurement.

Before

Springs compared

After 75 miles of driving

The drive is so much better now. My wife took the truck to work today cause i had to work on my moms car, and she said that she can really tell a difference. You can tell in the pic with the coils side by side, that the DJM 5" yukon coils (blue) are a lot thicker as far as the winding in the coil goes.

I dont know why the video came out the way it did from Izz. He said that was the way it loaded to youtube.

looks great now Matt nice and level

loving that video too haha I might have to come down to SF and kick it one day, show me how to whip my hoe in to shape

I can do what you are doing but on wet pavement so thats straight up impressive

are those 22's matt?
are you running spring isolators?
what shocks are you using?
how far is the axle from the frame?

 

[NORCAL SS]

actaully thats my wifes trailblazer ss in the video.

No spring isolators and the ends of the trailblazer springs are tighter which is no problems over the past 8 years of using trailblazer springs on my customers trucks.

shocks are djm ****** shocks which work great with the trailblazer spring he also has the djm shock extenders and will be doing the djm swaybar kit.

 

[matt14]

Actually, i dont have the shock extenders. That was another ball dropped by stylin ***** i mean trucks. So just the links this week.

And yea there 22's. I have them on a 305/40 nitto tire. Had them for almost two years now. First was the drop, then wheels. The video doesnt do any justice. Those streets were hella narrow and hes pitchin the ass end like its nothing. The one scene were you see the steering wheel just go crazy at 1:40ish, there was a PG&E truck double parked on my side and i thought he was going to clip it, but corrects it right before. Maybe some vids after the show sunday tony?

 

[thehoe92]

trust me matt I had my head sideways the whole video watching him bust it in the tightest corner that would have me shittin my pants HAHA!!

just throwin this out there but do you do trade in programs tony?

 

[NORCAL SS]

[NORCAL SS]

[Travieso]

[thehoe92]

I'm down!!

I was just thinking since I have DJM coils that I'm not using I could trade them in lol but if not its cool.. I've got a guy in stockton that wants a 3/5 drop and he wants me to build a kit for him

I'm thinking get these coils and use him as my test haha

 

[NORCAL SS]

yah im the only only that can get these trailblazer coils from DJM alone. Mike there hooks me up.

btw i just did a nnbs tahoe today. 6 inch rear drop and rides better than the belltechs or the djm tahoe specd springs.

 

[G-NOTE]

I wonder how much lower if any they will be on my burb???

Because my tires are actually only 30.73 in tall and matt14's are 31.60 in...

So I need to come down quite a bit...

 

[NORCAL SS]

with the extra weight you will be about 3/4 inch lower than his truck. What springs are you running in rear now??

on his truck with the 3 inch djm a arms his rear is lower than his front now.

That sounds close to impossible with that much drop, and the free travel mod would be a must on that right?
Any pics?

 

[89 chevy]

Yes. I bottom out now with the 5.5in in the rear. It would be .5 from the axle to the bumpstop bracket.

You havnt cut out the bumpstop bracket yet? Makes a world of difference, trust me. Diddnt do it for the first 6 months of having my drop, then did it and wondered why it took me so long to do it in the fisrt place.

Doing it tomorrow!

 

[Modded]

Uhhmmmm maybe I should do the free travel mod!?

 

[89 chevy]

I would, I bottom out all the time now. If you did these springs, there would probably be no suspension travel.

 

[NORCAL SS]

there is suspension travel just make sure to use 1/2 inch aftermarket bumpstops
