djm 5/7 drop shock ?
I have a 05 silverado extended cab with a djm 5/7 kit with the djm shocks which are horrible and starting to chop the treads on my tires from all the bouncing. Any suggestions on a better shock or maybe coilover replacement? depending on price of coilovers that is.

Since lowering my truck , the rear end make a lot of noise(squeaky) and the front is making noise going up driveways. Do I need to get new shackles(stock) or should I grease up the leaf springs? Should I grease up the ball joints on the lower control arm?

Do you have polyurethane bushings if you do polyurethane bushings are notorious for making squeak sounds and need to be lubed with the proper lube

What spindles do you have? Part #2509 Or 2511? 2511's correct some of the negative camber. Offset bushings and camber plates are available. But you may not need them if you have 2511 spindles. My '15 with 2511s aligned much better than my '12 with 2509s.

FWIW, On my 2012 rcsb, I had 2509 spindles, 2" springs and struts set to 1" drop. I needed cam plates and offset bushings to get camber barely in spec. When i lowered my 2015, Same setup with 2511 spindles/springs except struts set for 1/2" drop, I maxed out the camber adjustment before I set it on the ground the wheels were like \--/ Way too much positive camber, probably just could've use the offset bushings.
