Due to the 6" springs ready to ship out now put together a bolt in package that rides great and slams any 00-06 down where you want it. There is no other kit that will get you this low unless you bag the truck or cut springs in rear.

Front is adjustable 4-5 inches (you can crank the keys up if needed)
Rear is adjustable 5-6 inches (you can add 1 inch spacer which comes with kit)

Heres the kit and if you have any questions guys just ask
http://www.tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=202

If you would like the front/rear djm swaybars would be $400 additional.


Also due do the design I set up in rear you can add helper bags and they fit between the springs when weight is on it where as many of the progressive springs out now only have 3 loops the bag can fit into. ON this coil from top to bottom the airlift bag fills up all coils which makes it work for towing and or having people in there a lot better.

BTW thanks for working with me on the 6" rear drop springs. You guys all made it possible

How much of a difference will adding the rear adjustable bar kit and sway bars do to this kit? Also when I order, I'll be ordering the kit with the helper bags if that helps for added weight(friends, kids) won't really be towing with her. Is it necessary to do both kits or will I be fine on just doing the rear bar kit? Trying to research everything I'll need to install to do it all at once.

if your going to load it up I would get helper bags. Ie 4 people in back.

Swaybars always help and if your on a budget you can just do the rear that always will help.

on the spohn kit the rear will feel much more planted due to the fact your replacing all the stock factory rubber ends with a stronger bar that has poly bushings. There are lots of older trucks that ive seen with dry rot on the stock bushings so doing the spohn kit pretty much gets that rear end fresh.

I have the Spohn kit on my truck and they're deff nice and worth the money. Little pricey but worth it. If its in your budget get the Spohn kit.

I'll definitely get the bags and will do the rear bars. I don't load it all the time but I do sometimes have my niece and nephew with me and my 3 kids, so it does get full of kids. I'll be asking more as the time comes. When the time comes I'll be ordering from you Tony the 4/5-5/6 kit with helper bags and the spohn rear kit. I want a great ride since this is my family car if there's anything else that would help please let me know.

trust me the djm arms with spindles and belltech sp shocks and my 6 inch rear springs with belltech sp shocks do ride nice. Proven by the guys who tested it out on this forum also.

Main thing in rear is cutting the bracket off the frame.

DJM 3/5-6 on 2004 Tahoe

Hey all, just finished my DJM 3/5-6 drop, I put a couple of pics togather for you guys. Lots of extras, Like rear helper bags. and the Spohn upper and lower rear control arms and Spohn panhard bar.

The ride is very good, you MUST cut out the old rear bump stops to allow the suspension to work correctly.

dan your running the tb rear spring the 6 inch just came out last week. Truck looks killer

By positioning the rear axle back it lifts the truck up a little also. Same thing happens with the trailblazers.

always coming out with new stuff! I wanna get my denali lower but am happy with the 2/4 belltech kit I bought from you. I wanna get through a winter or two and see how it does in the snow before I go lower. Hopefully I have a big diesel then too!

Swaybars always help and if your on a budget you can just do the rear that always will help.

on the spohn kit the rear will feel much more planted due to the fact your replacing all the stock factory rubber ends with a stronger bar that has poly bushings. There are lots of older trucks that ive seen with dry rot on the stock bushings so doing the spohn kit pretty much gets that rear end fresh.


Whats the difference between the DJM/Eibach sway bars? Price difference, quality, either kits come with upgraded endlinks? I wanna put some sway bars on the truck eventually, they made a night and day difference in the car.

And what spohn kit are you talking about? I am assuming not the panhard bar or maybe that too? I am still on here to read, ask questions and learn as the whole truck modding is new to me haha. My truck is an 06 and only has 50k on it, i dont plan on getting rid of it anytime soon but doubt the rear bushings are already starting to rot.
