Re: DJM Drop 72' longbed
that looks really good. I'm actually looking at a DJM lowering kit for my truck right now. How ironic for you to post that info and a picture as I'm looking at there site.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Re: DJM Drop 72' longbed
How much did all that actually drop the front?
I was looking at there 2-3 inch lowering kit and I'm not sure if that means 2-3 inches lower all the way around or if its 2 inches in the front and 3 inches in the rear. Maybe you could possibly help me since you ordered from them as well. |

The rear was supposed to lower about 5" but I think it's closer to 7". Here are some pics of the factory ride height, the drop before I cut the springs and the drop after cutting the springs. |

Re: DJM Drop 72' longbed
Your truck looks good with this stance,... but how close are the front (DJM a-arm) "spring pockets" to the ground?
