Best. Day. EVER!
Western Chassis has a nice one too. WST-2107 I'm going to look at the DJM one now. Is it the same c notch for 1/2 ton and 1 ton? I would think the 1 ton would be heavier.

Was wondering how your progress went i have a 96 gmc 3500 dually 4wd and want to lower it as well and can't find anything but 2 inch drop torsion keys but that is not low enough i want to do 4 /5 front and 6/7 rear everyone always gives a guy a hard time for lowering a 4wd but I live in Canada and we have snow that and I'm building a turbo 6.0 ls hoping for around 700hp so a functional 4wd would be nice
I don't plan on driving it much in the snow really looking more for awd to launch it on pavement for something to do I just wonder why anything after 2000 has drop spindles for trucks from 1500 to 3500 but these years don't this is one of my backup trucks so I'm good in the snowFrom a fellow Canadian, dont lower this truck if you plan on driving it in snow. you will always be plowing through it. you would need half decent tires to get some grip. I dont see any use for a lowered 4x4 that's guna be driven in snow it will get stuck where the front wheel drive ******** car with good snow tires can drive right through... that 6L and turbos will not help move through the snow.
drive your truck and buy another to hot rod. if you dont get stuck it will look like this.... stock height c1500, pushing through 12" snow plus drifts.

Not many with lowered 4x4's on here. I had my 98' Z71 dropped 5/6 for a while, ran drop keys de-cranked all the way for 5" in the front, ran a regular flip kit & notch out back with helper bags for 6", 7" without the bags. If you drop it you'll have to be mindful of the CV angles like on a lifted truck.

perfect drop! What flip kit did you go with? did you also add in shims for pinion angles? I'm wanting to do the same drop on my 95 ext cab z71Not many with lowered 4x4's on here.

I currently have a Tinworks Fab in mine and I constantly bottom out. I would've bought a DC fab if they were out at the time i did mine, they give you an additional 2.5" clearance and still remains under bed, you can buy a Tinworks fab shim kit to correct all the angles.perfect drop!
