I have heard a few others with DJM arms on NNBS trucks having problems with not sitting level too...couple threads on GMFS about it.

Hey JB, one of those was probably my post on GMFS, I go by miamigrant over there. I hate that user name, I don't even live in miami anymore but it's too old to change i guess. To be fair to DJM, I haven't actually gotten my hands dirty to see what the problem is yet. Somebody may have posted the thought of possibly reaming the upper ball joint taper too much on one side or I just dreamed it up but that might be a possibility. I just need to get off my large rear and go check!

ahh okay, send an admin a PM with a name change request...they will do it no problem.

I understand your not sure what the problem is, but with his having the same issue it makes me wonder. I know mine sits even. If your truck sits even stock, it should sit even lowered/lifted with the NNBS.

I'll be around all weekend. You're not related to any Shupe from Green Ridge, Mo are you?
Leevon- I've seen your truck out and about, I'll stop by next time i'm out. No relation to the Green Ridge guys to my knowledge anyway.

Good luck on the correction of the lean.

You have yourself a nice looking truck there. Also, in the second picture it almost looks like someone is hiding behind the front driver-side wheel. Haha.

Bringing this back from the dead

I was about to pull the trigger on this kit till I read this, is the lean definitely a control arm problem?

DJM arms don't cause chevy lean, for whatever reason on my truck with the arms it was bad...now the other kit fixed the problem. I later discovered bad bushings and destroyed ball joints, no doubt contributing...
