Default New Pics After 2/4 Drop

I went with a Hotchkis 2/4 spring drop, I love it. The rear bump stop sits only 3/4" away from the frame??? is this normal? it bottoms out a lot but not harsh at all. The rear seems a little stiffer then the front but I think that its the bumbstop on the frame that makes it stiff.
Anyone else have this issue with the Hotchkis drop?





















I have to give a big Thanks to LoudAzzLoStepside for doing this with me


I want his new wheels so bad

Looks Good! I've got the same drop. Mine is sitting on the bump stops as well. I like the drop, but mine rides real harsh now, like a forklift, lol. It was just kinda stiff at first, but got worse.

Wonder if a frame notch will fix it??

I talked to Hotchkis, and they are giving the thier measurments on monday so I can compare them to mine.

I'm imagine a notch would fix it. Are you on the stock shocks? I switched mine out to Belltech Nitro drop shocks, but I think there are better ones out there. I'll end up trying some other brand one of these days.

I wanna post some pics of mine, but when I tried to register on Photobucket, I never got the e-mail activation thing, so it won't work. As you can probably tell I'm not exactly gifted when it come to the internet.

Did you use the smaller bump stops that came with the kit? Mine rarely bottoms out. I'll try to get you a measurement. A notch would fix it for sure, but shouldn't be necessary.
