Default Lowering a 2500 NON-HD? What parts?

I want to lower my 2000 2500 Silvy. 4x4. Non-HD, just a 2500. Not a slam, just maybe a 2/4 or 3/5?

I Put an email in to DJM but didn't get a response yet. Their website doesn't seem to have anything available for me. Would I be able to use the 2001 1500HD stuff? From my understanding, the 2500"LD" and 1500HD are pretty similar. 6.0, 80E, "small" 14B rear etc.

Has anybody on here done this?

I may start with just uncranking the torsions and taking out the rear blocks and see where that puts me. Not sure where to go though if I want more than that.

check out the sticky on the top of this section "how to drop your 4x4" should give you some ideas of what to do

Yeah, I looked through that. It just seems like everybody refers to 1500's or 2500HD's. Not sure what shackles/spindles/control arms etc my truck would use.

This is a 4-5 but it can be lifted up to what you wont. I have the parts off my truck because I put a lift kit on. Let me if you are interested? This is a 1500hd 8lug.
