Im going to buy a djm kit the 4/6 drop my question is do I need the
Shocks too or can I use my stocks.. Someone told I only have to change the rear ones.. The front ones can stay os this true??

 

you will need drop shocks for sure. I like edelbrock IAS shocks just remember you get what you pay for and cheap shocks suck.

 

Thanks bro... But are all 4 necessary?

 

I did the DJM 4/6 kit. Nice craftsmanship. The shocks sucked though in my opinion. All 4 of mine are blown out. drivers rear leaked out after 4 months.

They will tell you the 4/6 kit aligns to stock specs. It does not. You need to take your alignment cams off and grind them out to get more adjustment out of them. I have not done this yet. I will when I put new front tires on the truck in a couple months.

I heard somewhere someone makes these alignment cams??? If not, I will draw up new ones when they are off and laser cut new ones. If anyone wants any, let me know!

here is the best picture I have that kind of shows the front end. It is VERY close to aligning. I will see if I can get a better picture tonight.

Thanks Kenny btw nice drop hope mine comes out like that

 

Stock shocks will fit in the front, but you will need shorter shocks for the rear.

 

Front shocks can stay stock, but will probably blow out, not the biggest deal tho
Rear shocks you're going to want to find shocks for, and probably shock extenders too so they keep the correct angle

 

x2 on rear shocks I had factory ones for about a day...when you hit a bump you will feel it...I put the cheap kyb shocks for about a week and then put the belltech....And it was night and day....rides really good right now....

 

Thanks! Its still not low enough, but our roads dont agree with slammed trucks. Here are some more pictures from tonight. (please ignore the cancer on my box side haha)











Ok, here is the alignment cam I was talking about. It's maxed out. I think I will make some laser cut pieces that have a little more adjustment. I would like to do a 1" coil up front still, and it will be a must then.
