Its about that time. I am getting a bit of money soon and on top of installing my ASM's I want to go ahead and finish off the drop. Right now I just have Belltech 2" shackles. I am thinking about just a 2/4 drop using Eibach Coil Springs up front and 2" hangers in the back. But I will not be doing the drop myself. Anyone know of a good shop that does suspension work, preferrably on the south side, but not restricted to that area.

Oh and what else is needed, I know I need the carrier bearing for the ext cab, but are shocks necessary for that drop? Shorter bumpstops,?.....etc...

 

I dont know a shop, but I have a 2/4 drop with stock shocks and it actually rides real good and they have 90k miles on them... I never got the carrier bearing, I didnt know I needed it??? on the bumpstops, I just cut my stock ones shorter and it work perfect...

 

carrier bearings is a case by case thing with these trucks. some need them and some dont. my truck would start to vibrate pretty bad past 70 so i needed it. fixed my shake right up

 

knocking on wood, but, I guess Im one of the lucky ones that dont need it now... I get NO vibration...

 

mine came with my kit and i used it.

 

thats whats wierd. my djm kit didnt come with it

 

i ordered a belltech kit for the rear and had djm coils for the front. i guess it's a manufacturer difference

 

pm me about the place in baytown.

 

I had a guy in Pasadena do mine. Not a shop, just a guy who does it on the side. He is a member on GMFS.

I added the rear DT shocks first and they rode better than the stockers, imo. I later added the fronts and that really helped since I had coils.

 

Curtis, give me a hollar, I can help you out.
