Looks Great!!! I had mine dropped on 22's with a 2/3 DJM Drop for a while but didn't like how it rode so I went back to stock.

Iv'e heard DJM rides a bit harsh. I think Mine with the Belltech shocks and springs rides great and it will be even better when I get spindles for the front.

Nice! How much u paid for the kit?
You know I don't really remember. Iv'e had the drop for around a year and the shocks for around 6 months. I got everything from Tony (Norcalss). Everything was reasonable though.

Thanks. Your Denali is one of the trucks that inspired me to do a drop.:)

I do like the rear belltech 3-4 inch adjustable springs better than the djms. but the djms once mounted with the djm rides better. Stock shocks dont compliment the ride of drop springs in rear at all.

How hard is it to take the roof rack off? I have a 01 z71 and have been wanting to take it off for a while now. Does the headliner have to come out to remove any screws?

I was told by a local shop here that I couldnt lower my z71 cause of the torsion keys up front. Obviously thats not the case if your guys are lowered lol. Where did you guys get your kit from and how much was it?

^^^roof rack screws in from the top so no need to take headliner out. NorcalSS can hook you up with a kit. He's got great stuff at good prices :waytogo:
