it's bagged!

[ILLEGAL REGAL]

try and get some pics of quality, all I have is 2 crappy phone pics.


but... I want it to go lower in the front and rear. I'm on 2" spindles up front and was thinking of going to stockers and get the 3" djm arms to try and put a little more tire in the fender.
Then in the rear I'm gonna cut the cups down some to gain another inch or two but need a panhard pretty bad as right now the rear gets pushed over pretty far.

PROBLEM--- rear sway bar has djm rear hardware kit and the pass panhard mount sits on the swaybar. So.. I need new links to offset the arm 2" to clear the mount, cut the mount down, find a new bar with a different bend that might clear the mount or what I dont want to do--take it off.

ideas please

Way to be. Looks sweet!

what about taking the sway bar out and using a pipe bender(hydraulic) to re-shape/bend it? could just do a little at a time, and re-check?

 

[ILLEGAL REGAL]

I don't know if that'd work...pic of it undone to show how much would need to be bent, and that's without cutting the cups down some to get lower.

And to show how bad it sits on it. Notice the rounded part on the bottom of the bracket lol. Still disconnected here

 

[slocaddy]

I wouldn think twice about grinding that panhard bar braket looks like there's alot of steel there, maybe that with a re-bend might do it? But then if you lower more maybe you should look into making your own panhard bar and mounting tabs and be done.

What kit did you use?

its an air ride tech cool ride rear, shockwave front and accuair e-level system

if you got the djm rear kit you should have had some extra bolts to relocate the sway bar over 2 inches i did mine and it work just fine thats why one of the end links is off set so you can push it over the 2 inches you need to clear the bar if you donty get what im saying get with Tony (norcal)he can explain it better

yea I'm gonna have to look into that. It completely clears?

 

[yates ™]

I guess had I looked at your thread I would have known what style it was

Have you relocated the driver's side pan hard bracket? In order to get the bar over 2" you have to redrill some holes and move the bracket toward the passenger's side. If you just scoot the pan hard over the driver's side bracket will catch on the curve of the bar before you get your 2"........ya got to relocate that driver's side bracket......... You can just use spacers to offset the links if you don't have offset links..........

nice, how much did a bagged setup run?

 

[waxworkz]

rear shocks are upside down. if its a djm shock they will be toast.

Good catch!

 

[MOBmentality]

They fried mine the same way.. (mounting them upside down) going back to stock spindles and switching out to LCA is a bad idea imo... Is djm LCA even a arm or is it just a re indexed hole? I dont remember.. but to the same idea did you remove the torsion bars or try to keep them?

If the bars are removed and the holes are just re indexed then the LCA isnt going to provide ANY drop.. since it gets its drop from how the bar sits in the hole.

Do you have room to go lower? I know it takes pulling fender skins out and a little mod work to get the full drop out of a weld on bag kit.. with shockwaves.. i think your best bet is gonna be to check clearances and see about lifting the upper mounts of dropping the lower mounts to get the other inches you want..

 

[AtomicHoe094]

i remember seeing that picture of the shocks upside down on your truck as well mob..

Looks good man! need some better quality pictures
