Re: Papa's 1972 C/10 project

For any of you that are interested, I'll be installing my DJM 3/5 lowering kit this weekend. I'll try to post a good step by step show for you. I haven't found one on the forum yet so I figured I'd do my part.

My kit uses the 3" drop lower control arms for the front. You use the stock heighth springs and shocks for this application. What they did was fabricate the spring lower cup to be exactly 3" lower than the stock control arm so In essense, it should drop by
3". I'm curious to see if it actually does, I can always drop in some shorter springs if it doesn't get down as far as I expect it to.

I happen to have leafs in the rear so the rear kit is a flip kit. It should be a simple bolt on and off. I did have to buy shorter shocks for the rear though.

The parts I received are really good quality and they came with nice sturdy gun metal splatter powercoat. Looks like all the hardware is there. I hope everything works as good as it looks. I'll keep you posted.
