has anyone on here used stock shocks up front with a 4" drop? i was looking at them today and the feel like there alot stiffer then my stupid nitro drop shocks

When I had the stock shocks with my DJM arms, they were good for about one year, then I had to get the DJM's. Over time they seemed more and more bouncy. I almost wrecked my truck on an on ramp when I hit a bump, the rebound nearly sent me into the next lane. The next day I got new shocks. With the DJM arms, some people say you get some bumpsteer. I don't have very much of that after getting the alignment fixed, but the rebounding with the old stock shocks was getting bad.

havent had any bumpsteer hope i never do.. i felt my stock shocks in the garage and they felt alot stiffer then the nitro drop2s i have on there now so i was just thinking if it would a good temporary replacement for the soft nitros

They'll work fine until you get some you like. I found that part number for the belltech alignment cams. Its #4951, and its listed as: ALIGNMENT KIT99-08 TRUCK/SUV 1-DEG CAMS.

speaking of alignments heres the copy the guy gave me when i had mine realigned. im assuming that the first graph is before and the second is after, does anyone know how to read this or explain what it all means?

I can feel that rub from here! At least you're tuckin' so that makes up for the rub.

yea truck is sitting damn low for a 4/6 looks almost like a 5/6.. its been about a week and a half with the drop on and the rubbing is really pissing me off i'm almost positive im gonna raise it up to a 3/5 then maybe right after i might put my wheels on

I took the time today to swap my "Nitro Drop 2" shocks out for my stock ones which seem to be stiffer. i havent driven it much yet so ill let you guys know if it made a difference. couldnt make anything worse thats for sure
