NORCALSS 3/5-6 drop kit? JUST DO IT.

[HawkMD]

Installed the kit yesterday, took 9 hours from start to finish (2 of us working on it, also did brakes on all corners and painted all calipers and brackets). Looks killer, rides very good. Not nearly as stiff as I thought it was going to be. Was not too hard to install at the shop, just a lot of work. Anyways, here are some pics.

Before (36.75" and 37.5" from ground to fender lip)


After (32.5" and 33" from ground to fender lip)


Alignment specs (caster does not cause issues with tire wear)


Front (Belltech shocks, DJM lower arms, stock keys, severe duty upper BJ's)


Rear (Belltech shocks, DJM rear kit, 6" springs WITH 1" spacer, free travel mod is 100% necessary for this all to work, Spohn track bar. Relocating sway bar properly is CRITICAL, that thing has a sweet spot to avoid contact with other components)


Thanks to Tony for answer all my questions and offering a slick package to put the truck where i wanted it!

Bottom line, if you are thinking about it. DO IT. If you already installed this kit, and are having issues, something was not done right. I've never modified suspension before. Just took my time, read the directions with some supplemental info from Tony, and it all went together smoothly.

Any questions are welcome.

Can I ask what were the part numbers for the front and rear bell shocks? I know have to use a certain one for the lower DJM control arms.

Bump to the top for a great kit. If you go to instagram norcal_ss have been doing a lot of em lately.

This by far is the best 2-3/5-6 out and I can set up helper bags/full rear control arm kit/tubular uppers/beefy swaybars to really have a great cornering suv
