DJM Trailblazer 5 inch plus Drop springs Review

[prosts1003]

I already have the mcgaughys helper bags but those things don't do anything for the stock springs I'm hopeing when I do drop it they will help but right now the truck is getting two-tone paint then I need to look for some wheels before I do the drop

interesting, I learned more in a few posts than anyone' shop I went to inquiring about lowering my 2002 tahoe. im gonna have to come n here more often.

matt since you've been riding in it what did it settle down to. I know you have 305 40 22 so are you at 32.5 from ground to fenderlip? I know after 75 miles of driving your at 32.75 but just seeing if it went lower since then.

sorry if its been mentioned in the thread already but i skimmed throught it and didnt see.. what all do you need to run these springs? My current set up is 2" spindles and i bought some used eibach 3" springs from my buddy for the rear, problem is my truck looked raked so i cut about a coil n a half off and its kind of closer to level but not quite and it rides like doo doo.. help me out

 

[NORCAL SS]

ghost if you only have the front spindles all you need is the 3 inch rear belltech 3-4 inch adjustable kit with shock extenders. Ill pm you

Just got my drop done today. Got everything from NorCalSS. Install went smooth except there was a small issue with the front shocks...

Good thing to know...the stock shocks still have a little travel on a DJM 3" front drop.

Overall, I did this today...

3" DJM arms...
TB drop springs...
DJM rear hardware kit...
BellTech F&R sway bars...
BellTech rear shocks...
KYB steering stabilizer...

After getting the alignment done the truck rides great. DJM front shocks are on the way...the stockers do for a pinch but they're not gonna last.

Awesome setup...I actually want to go a little lower but I'm going to let everything settle in and see where it sits. Here are a few pics....sitting on 22" Boss 330's with 275/40/22 rubber.

Looks good I bet the ass drops another 1/2" or so, took awhile for my belltech tb coils to settle but I love the way it looks now.

the belltechs sit about the same height just ride on the tahoes are better. Also much easier to use helper bags on the djm 4 inch springs since insides are wider than the belltechs.
