Dropping a 2001 Silverado rcsb
#1
I want to give my 2001 a 3/5 or 4/6 drop. I've been looking at these DJM kits:
3/5 kit DJM2599-3/5 | DJM Suspension
4/6 kit DJM2599-4/6+ | DJM Suspension
Has anybody had any experience with these kits? Here is how the truck sits now at stock ride height with 265/50R20s on +19 offset wheels. I have read that this tire and wheel combo shouldn't rub on a 4/6 drop. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks Jim

Jim,
I went with these wheels. My truck is a 4x4 I'm currently running DJM upper and 3.5 lower arms and 1.5 drop keys. In back I did a c-notch and axle flip.
First bit of advice. They sent me 2 right side lower control arms. The shocks are junk and fit like crap. The C notches looked very cheesy and I decided to toss them and do a belltech notch (it fit amazing). The upper and lower arms fit fine and seem to do the job. It all went on pretty easy and aligned well.
The wheels fit perfect. The tires tuck and I have zero complaints. The ride is horrible and the tierod angle is laughable. I am currently in the process of reinstalling stock lower arms, belltech spindles and coilover shocks using brackets I bought from Atomic. I won't be able to go as low but it seems like the ride quality will make up for it.
Hope you find something in this helpful.
