Hey guys i did the 3"drop djm arms up front and 4" springs out back from norcalss ans im sitting at 32" all around, anyways my stock bumpstops were destroyed up front so i just took them out, i just added the z71 stops unmodified and it definately handles the bumps way better, however with truck sitting at ride height the is a 1/16 - 1/8" gap from the bumpstop and control arm, is this ok or should i maybe weld a shim onto the lower control arm so that its touching
Victor....how did everything work out on putting that bumpstop in??? Thats looks like a mighty beefy long bolt. Did you figure in for compressing when yon go over bumps?? Looks like that bolt is super long man. I would like to know if you are happy with the front. Because I will be doing the exact same thing and I will epoxy bumpstop on to the thread of the bolt for added strength... Let me know pimp. Your thoughts looked good.

Ya its a pretty beefy long bolt I have only done one side I haven't had anytime
I really don't feel the difference but haven't done other side
It works well bolt doesn't get close to hitting (I think bolt is like 2 inches long lol)
But I'm just thinking of ordering some belltech bumpstops the ones that have the bolt integrated already its easier like that than how I did it
But I'm not sure yet thinking of lifting back up my truck I really don't like the ride to bumpy and rattling inside plus roads are all nasty and theirs a lot of construction going on here in Utah

Yeah Vic, you just turned me on to something also. I just found the Belltech ones on www.autoanything.com and that is the route I'm going. 3" long and already have the bolt in there and polyurethane.... I got 2.75" from my frame plate to the top of my A-arm.
These are 3.01" long. THAT WILL BE PERFECT! The dealer wants $28.22 a piece for the Z-71 bumstop and the Belltech ones are $30 for the pair and free shipping.
Its a NO brainer for me!!!

I personally haven't had good luck with the Belltech shocks either. So for me.... Bilstien Shocks > Belltech Shocks.....

I'm running the Belltech StreetPerformance shocks(not the Nitro's, those are thee ****** ones) front and back and seems good. And that's the shock Tony's using in his new kits.
Jonas, and everyone else, I'm running Bilsteins. This is the shock Max ran for a while on his setup. It's almost identical to the Tahoe shock, but it comes with an external bumpstop and it's about a 1/2" shorter. I like it.
I set up Mike (M Hankel) with a pair of bilsteins that fit the DJM arms and if I remember correctly, they were very nicely priced too. I don't remember the part number though.
I'm not sure if you had an opportunity to browse this thread: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41144&highlight=bilstein+DJM+arms; but there was a bit of debate on which bilstein shock to use w/ the DJM arms. I ultimately gave bilstein a few calls and determined which would be the best for a lowered application.

Thanks Alex.... Imma browse that thread tonight. I'll keep you posted once I get them bumpstops in....
Yeah I hear Tony did a lil switch up in his kit. These DJM's gotta go! I will probably go with the Bilsteins. Had them in my Camaro with 2 inch drop and loved them...

anyone find out the part number to those front shocks? i cant stand mine lately..im pretty sure its the shocks because everything else is new and or good quality..
Update on Belltech bumpstops.... $30 bucks waisted and back to drawing board.
They are to short and they are not like anything in their pic. Pic shows they are red polyurethane...and I get them and they are yellow foam ones. I installed them an hour ago and they dont even hit the A-arm. I am calling autoanything beacause some one dropped the ball on this or they nedd to update pics and info. Also these are suppose to be 3.01 inches long and they are only 2.50.
My whole OEM bumpstop plate is shaved off so I thought these would work perfect.......

Well I just ordered these from energy suspension http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=9.9143
They are red and polyurethane and a hare bit longer which should work a hell of a lot better. I called Belltech and talked to them about their bumpstop pic and the guys says, "oh we havent changed that pic in 7 years".
Um yeah.....on to the next one!
