Well mine will be pieced together, I will have Belltech spindle's I already have them, with Djm spring's up front, and in the rear I will have a Belltech flip kit I already have that too, and AVS undefloor notch's. I personally do not like how Belltech drop coil spring's ride, but that's personal preference. I don't have any pic's of a CCSB lowered 4-6 with a bigger sidewall tire, but I will soon. I am getting ready to swap the rearend on my DD and I will be lowering it more then.

Looking forward to seeing it man! So if I went with DJM spring, spindles, and flip kit, the avs underbed notch, and bilstein shocks, I should be good to go huh? Also would be adding swaybars at a later date I imagine, along with air helper bags to help tow. I have a quote from someone on the DJM springs, spindles, and flip kit for $450 shipped. That sound reasonable to you?? Thanks man

Thank's man, yeah that combination of part's will look great on your truck, and a damn good price!

Not from personal experience, but from what friends have told me, the longer trucks occasionally have problems with vibration when they are lowered & need the pinion angle corrected.

 

[DRAGGIN95]

Yeah typically I install a 2 in carrier bearing spacer, and then with the newer DJM flip kit the pinion angle is adjustable, so you don't have to buy shim's anymore.

 

[Nvr2Low]

Well as I start buying all the drop components I need ill be asking for exactly what all ill need anyway just to be sure

 

[DRAGGIN95]

Ask away! I'll help as much as I can.

Thanks man! You could actually start with a brief listing of the parts I'll need, that would be awesome. I already know the DJM spring, spindles, and flip kit. I'm planning the AVS under-bed notch, and bilstein shocks. Question I do have, does the flip kit come with shock extenders, and does it come with a notch. Cause I really don't want to spend the money twice on a notch if I'm planning the AVS one to start with. Planning on running Helwig sway bars front and rear, so will I need to go ahead and get new bushings as well?? But, the sway bars might have to wait a little while, because from the looks of it, they're slightly expensive themselves! lol Will I need a carrier bearing spacer like you said? I got plenty of questions, obviously, but this is a good starting point I guess. Thanks

The kit comes with a notch, & the extenders. The sway bar bushings ae cheap. Under $20.00 each for the front & rear pairs. If your doing all this work, get a urethane bushing kit. You can install the rear bushings when you do the flip. The body mounts are the easiest. Before I lowered the front of mine, I got some used lower A-arms & had the new bushings put into them. I have to pay for hoist time, so this really sped things up.
