3/5 lowering kit

[03blkhoe]

I have a 3/5 kit from mcgaughys on my hoe installed it a couple weeks ago the front has went down great but the back is still about 2 inches higher is there anyway i can get it lower atleast to a true 5 inch drop my torsion keys are cranked up in the front an i have also changed the shocks

Are your shocks in the rear holding you up? maybe that they accidently gave you some 3" springs?

 

[03blkhoe]

No there not holding it up an I called the company and they told me I had the right springs also but they weren't much help

resting on bump stops?

....

pics?

 

[03blkhoe]

only good one i really got of it

 

[thor1125]

...

looks good... give it a little time of driving around on .. the springs may settle....

 

[03blkhoe]

i hope they do atleast like to set it level with the front

I'm pretty sure you are resting on the bump stops. Head over to a shop with a plasma cutter and have them cut the brackets off entirely...make sure they don't cut your frame tho, just the brackets that extend down which the stops plug into.

he said he got them cut but maybe he was just talking about a notch off the actual bump stop and not the whole bracket

picture of underneath the car where the spring is would help the best

 

[03blkhoe]

i removed the bump stops completely an the bracket is still there but it is not touchin the axle pad im still about 2 inches away from touching the axle pad id say

 

[matt14]

What are your fender measurements? From what i remember, i had about two inches before the axle hit the bumpstop brakcet before i cut it out. From the pic, it looks even.

djm rear springs will sit lower or you can go with the trailblazer 4 inch drop spring to bring it dead even with the front.

 

[03blkhoe]

The front from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender is 17 an a half and the back is 19 an a half

 

[NORCAL SS]

yah the djm tahoe 5 inch springs will sit about 1 inch lower than that. the trailblazer 4 inch djm rear drop spring will sit about 1 inch lower in rear but no biggie you just run the belltech 1 inch spacers and you will be set to go.

 

[03blkhoe]

sweet thankx dude

 

[NORCAL SS]

no prob the djm springs i can only get by themselves unless you want to buy a complete trailblazer kit everywhere else.

I hooked up with mike there since im the number one seller of their trailblazer kits and he gave me a good deal with djm

I have a mcgaughys 3/5 drop in the rear of my 03' done a few days ago and finally drove it today. The rear sits 1-1 1/2" higher than the front after we cranked the keys up some. do the springs have to settle? I have drop shocks.....

 

[NORCAL SS]

ive installed their kits locally many times and its just the way it is. if you want to go lower get the djm 5 inch rear drop springs
