DJM vs. McNaughty 3/5 ???

[vjr021]

Here's the dilemma... If I get my Burb, I want it slammed... 3/5 hopefully...

Here are my options (Based of stylintrucks.com)

DJM:

Cost: $625

Includes: Front Control Arms, Rear Springs, Hardware

Other: Works for 2wd and 4wd

McNaughty

Cost: $675

Includes: 2" Front Spindles, Torsion Keys, 5" Rear Coil Springs, Rear Sway Bar End Links

Other: *Requires !7" wheels, 2WD only.

Neither has shocks, DJM's are about $42 each.

Has anyone used either of these kits????

Alot of people on here have those kits in variosu drop amounts.
DON'T do DJM, I have heard som many complaints about them riding like shit!!
Consider McGAughys like you have and also Belltech, both good companies.
Is it 07-Up Suburban or what?

Also ask Tim the Suspension vendor on here (top of home page) for help and a better price on the McGaughys kit!

Belltech.......

mcgaughy's or belltech...imho.

go with doetsch tech shocks....NOT the djm or belltech shocks!

I have mcgaughys....very happy

ALright with that its really your choice of McGaughys or Belltech, whichever rolls your boat!

well belltech has been around FOREVER, but doesn't go 3/5. Mc goes 3/5 and has received a bunch of awards.

Is that too low for a LWB of the Burb? I have some speed bumps here and there I go over, but nothing too bad.

If 3/5 isn't too low, I'll do the MC kit, with pics and a full write up, of course!!!

I have DJM 3" rear coils in mine and DJM torsions out front. I hate the way the rear rides. If I was to do it again, I would prolly go with another rear spring other than DJM.

McGaughys!! FTW!! My brother ran DJM lower arms on his Kon for about a month before he went with McGaughys too. He couldn't get the truck aligned to save his ass.. I run a 3-5 kit on mine and I'm extremely happy with it..

chistoso on your brothers truck did he have upper djm arms aswell? mine for some reason wont keep in place and the alignment shop couldnt use the djm alignment keys cause they said it wouldnt go to factory ride specs.

I went with the Mcgaughy's kit, I had no problems installing it and everything fit right in place the ride is still great on my 24s couldn't complain one bit about it. I also ordered mine through AVS and they were extremely helpful.

running a DJM 3/5 on mine with zero issue. upper and lower control arms, aligned perfect. The rear is a bit bouncy but I'm using cheap ass shocks. I'm thinking of going with a 6" rear spring from Tony (norcalss).

Such an old thread!!!

I ended up with a 2005 denali and love it!! I am running the Eibach 2/3 drop, and sway bars. Happy thus far... Could always be lower.

if you do go lower my custom 3/5-6 kit. will ride better and no loss of turning radius
