Post a wanted ad on some forums. I am sure someone has their stockers laying around and doesn't want them. Worst case scenario, buy some more from the dealer.

I have a DJM 3/3 drop on my 01 Tahoe and it rides like crap. I have a DJM 4/6 on my 99 Sierra and rides good. When I bought boths trucks they already were lowered. I am going to change all the suspension on the Tahoe because the bumpsteer is just ridiculous. I'm going with Mcgaughys spindles and coils with the airbag inside coil. I have to go to the junk lot of the stock stuff to do this though. But it will be worth it.

Yea I know that now, if you read my last post. I've done the 3/4 belltech drop on my silverado and the back didn't change one bit, but the only problem is installing the hangers. Are you going to do them yourself? The reason is that when I put mine on, my air chisel wouldn't even bust the rivets off the stock hangers. I had to go and borrow a bigass air chisel. Also, if you plan to do it yourself, you'll have to cut off as much of the bolt for the hanger/leaf as possible or drop the gas tank because it is an extremely tight fit(I cut the extra length off and didn't have to drop the tank).
