Default Belltech or DJM for 5/7 drop??

ok im looking to buy my dads 95 silverado (single cab, 5 speed, 350, edelbrock headers and y pipe so y pipe is much higher now and 3.73 gears, intake, pullies anda few other things 62000 miles)

im looking at a 5/7 drop with
2 inch spindles
3 inch drop springs
6 inch flip kit rear
and 1 inch shackle and hanger or 2 inch will be fine

truck has the 454 ss wheels on it now id put 225 60 15 or 235 60 15 in front and rear 275 60 15.

Now wondering what people have used on the 88-98 chevy trucks in here. I know spindles wont matter but spring belltech vs djm. Its been a while since ive lowered these trucks just want to see if anything has changed.

price wise from summit belltech looks like 100-150 more expensive for the kit. I know i will need shocks ill prob get doetsch tech for that part.


Thanks again guys.

Belltech is one of the best for truck lowering. F**k djm. I had a ball joint go bad in less than 20k miles in a lower control arm from them. And people i know have even had their djm stuff break on them, while they're driving! Belltech all the way!
