Newbie Needs A Lil' Help

[DadamnMan]

I' m new to the forum, been looking around, and was wondering whats the easiest and inexpensive way to lower my 04 tahoe. I see alot of ppl are using the djm 2/3. What's a good price on that kit and is that the only thing I would need? Lastly, can I install that myself? Thx in advance for the help.

Cheapest/easiest would be keys up front and coils/shock extenders out back. Very easy and simple to do with basic tools. Use the seach options. This topic has been covered and discussed many a times and there are a lot of really good posts on it if you have the time to read up..

the rear takes about 30 minutes max to install the keys are a little harder but you can do them also yourself.

any other questions just hollar i offer 24/7 support on djm or belltech products

Thanx for the help. On a scale of one to 10 exactly how hard is it to put the keys on the front? And what makes it soo hard? I planning on doing this by myself is that suggested? Sorry for all the questions I just wanna make sure I get this right!!!!

takes time to get them done correctly, but add the expense of a new front end alignment after lowering.

Thx, for the info. If I just lower the rear 3 inches, will I need the 4 wheel alignment, or is it only if the front is dropped?

Looks good, pimpin. What exactly do have ordered and what are you getting installed?

 

[blueflamed03]

so your just lowering the rear? If so, then no.

 

[DadamnMan]

Well it depends. Is there a write up on how to do the front keys? I've seen the info on the DJM site, but I was wondering if there was anything a little more detailed? I'm doing the rear regardless, I have the kit/tool to do the front but still a little confused on what it takes to do it!!! Plus I wanna see what it looks like with just the rear dropped. My DJM 2/3 kit should be here today or tomorrow courtesy of Tony (norcalss)!

 

[blueflamed03]

if you already ordered the 2/3 from Tony, do the keys for sure...

Thx for the help everyone. UPS dropped off DJM 2/3 kit. Here's a before pic.

 

[DadamnMan]

Before.........Oooooops they're upside down! Sorry!

 

[NORCAL SS]

sweet told you thur or friday now drop it lol

 

[DadamnMan]

This is with just the rear done. Should I leave it like this or finish & drop the front too? Opinions appreciated PLZ!!!!

 

[NORCAL SS]

if the shock extenders are in and you dont have autoride (which i think you didnt) then it will settle a little. in front do the keys and call it good.

 

[DadamnMan]

Ur right T, I don't have autoride, so how long should it take to settle?
