3/5.5 Djm Drop Kit

[Big Buttons]

$180 is a super good price! All my local shops are expensive. It was like $200 just to replace my stock muffler with a super 40. I want your setup except out the back stock location with black tips!

Mine is the super 44 and i got it on jegs for $60 then got the tips for another $60 and my friend charged me $60 for the install

I have them, but they're all with me and we don't weld. We build! Haha.

But the truck looks great man. Drop really sets it off.

I have the same exhaust set up besides i just have a turn down right after the muffler. Super 40s are the best sounding muffler for Chevy. Nice drop!

Hope you aren't planning on towing with those springs

why do you say that? I pull a boat with mine...

Do you have helper bags?

Because being springs that drop you down 4", you don't have much travel before you bottom out. You'll definitely need different shocks to begin with, and those relocators that I have seen don't look like they drop the mount point 4" to fully compensate. Ideally a spring will be pretty darn stiff by the time it's about to bottom out, so adding a load to them is just going to make your ride pretty abysmal since the springs won't be in their "sweet spot".

Air bags on the other hand....

edit ^^ helper bags + springs are a good idea!

with the djm hardware kit

dont need relocators
you need a 20 inch long extended shock at most

if you do helper bags you can load up 600 pounds of people and its fine in rear.

That's only about 300lbs at the rear axle though (thinking suburban, not tahoe). Towing is a much different beast than hauling people! You could have an 800lb tongue weight, which is almost all held up by the rear suspension.

i towed my trailblazer ss perfectly fine with my buddys djm springs and the helper bags at 35 psi in his 02 tahoe

Would the same setup work as well on an XL?

 

[NORCAL SS]

Yes

Bags + Boat no problem. Here is a picture with the TB coils and no helper bags. I do have helper bags just have not had a chance to put them in this one yet.
