DJM Trailblazer 5 inch plus Drop springs Review

[Modded]

I thought I would be done with suspension mods haha.
I doubt I will sway my rear springs again, but I may consider the free travel mod.

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

how in the world are you sitting at 31.5" in the rear?!
thats almost impossible or you just bottom out on every single bump there is in the road

Tony where exactly do you put the new bump stop when you cut the bump stop bracket off?

on the frame or on the axle?

 

[Max]

Put the bumpstop on the frame if you can compress the suspension untit it is close to touching the frame and install the bumpstop in that location, here is a pic from the djm free travel write-up:

I do bottom out all the time. There is maybe a inch of travel with the bumpstop brackets in.

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

I meant with these springs, and bump stops not cut.

[Modded]

[matt14]

[89 chevy]

Any Measurements yet Matt?

 

[NORCAL SS]

If you have djm 5 inch drop springs in your truck it will sit about 1/2 to 3/4 inch lower and ride better

 

[89 chevy]

Awsome!

 

[skyhighsami]

Interested, called and waiting for a reply

 

[NORCAL SS]

guys remember with these springs get
djm rear shocks
djm trailing arm kit
djm endlink kit.

Thats exactly the set up to run which ive done and ride is great.

 

[NORCAL SS]

so you guys know 89 chevy installed the spring truck sits 1/4 inch lower and on top of that in his words "rides 110% better"

he is running My djm 4 inch trailblazer spring along withe the rear djm shocks and rear djm hardware kit.

just wondering if u can still tow with the lower spring rate cause i have stock suspension right now but im doing the hd keys in the front and waiting to get the spindles but mine sags alot when i towed my buddys tbss to kansas we had to have it perfect on the trailer or it would suck to drive

I dont think you should tow with these springs, but maybe some helper bags would help with it. If you do a lot of towing, go with the djm 5" tahoe springs.

 

[NORCAL SS]

use the helper bag kit its 83 bucks by airlift. goes right in and very easy to pump up.
