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.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. 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?
