So last sunday installed a djm 4/6 drop with the 4in lower control arms up front and flip kit in the rear. The install was straight forward and pretty simple. The rear dropped as advertised at an actual 5 3/4 on both sides but the front isnt as low as its supposed to be and is actually sitting slightly higher than the rear. Ive tried loosing the lower control arm bolts and sway bar hardware while the truck was on the ground rolled it in and out of the driveway(has a 2-3 in bump at end) and let it sit for over an hour and still no change. I kept the factory springs and rubber isolators and installed new factory length shocks when doing the drop also so not sure where to go from here.

Drop measurements before/after

driver front 18.75/16.25
pass front 19.25/17
driver rear 21.75/16
pass rear 22/16.25

Any help would be appreciated

 

have you had it aligned? my old rcsb sat the same way after my djm 4/6. the alignment helped and i ended up removing the spare tire and replaced the bumper with a roll pan. it sat level after that. FWIW, it took a day or so for the front end to settle even reusing the stock springs.

 

Its been a week so shouldnt be any more settling to do and didnt want to get it aligned until it sat at the right height. Spare is out as well as removed the hitch but the rear is fine just the front isnt as low as it should be. Would an alignment make a diff?

 

They sent you the wrong control arms. Or atleast that is my guess. DJM stuff doesn't need to settle really, you're riding on your stock springs. Here is my truck with the 4/6 drop the day after I dropped it without an alignment done yet....

The box is labeled correctly so unless djm sent the wrong ones in the box to summit they should be the 4in arms. Ill prolly try to give djm and/or summit a call tomorrow

 

Welp got it figured out. The bottom rubber isolater wasnt letting the spring seat fully in the bottom spring pocket so pulled them suckers off and now it sits as low as its supposed to. Ended up being a 3.5 drop up front with the control arms and 5.75 in drop in the rear with the flip kit. Very happy with the stance and rides damn close to stock, didnt experience any bumpsteer on the 15min cruise I took after but well see how it goes from here.
