I'm Awesome
So I have been planning to put a 5/7 drop kit on my truck. A friend here (Stroker52) turned me on to the DJM Suspension kits, and the plan was set. So tonight while I was researching helper bags I got to looking at the drop kits again and went to the page with the individual parts listed and found the following statement (in part):
My truck sits 18" from the floor to the bottom of the rockers in the middle of the truck, so it stands to reason that I'll still be sitting at about 11ish" after the installation. That's not exactly what I would call "slammed" nor is it anywhere close to be on the ground. Am I getting the terminology wrong or are they measuring the amount of drop in a different way... maybe they're not talking about overall height?
I'd really like to lower it down to a nice and level 10" or 11", but any lower than that would not work for me.
Now you looking at a slam kit, a full 5″ front and 7″ rear that puts your 1-Ton down on the ground. A combination of spindles and coil springs up front provide the front drop. You can still align to factory specs so you won’t ruin those big expensive tires but you need to be more careful about how you drive! The front end is very close to the ground, great looks comes with some responsibility so just be careful.
