    3/5 Drop With Pics, DJM Arms, BT 5305 Springs

    What's up guys. Finally got a chance to clean up the Tahoe yesterday and take some decent pics since lowering it last weekend. I'll start with some pics of how she looked back in March of this year and how it's progressed to be where it's at now. I'm not finished with it, but it's getting there...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I do most of my own tuning, but I got a friend with a Mustang dyno. He's done some top end tuning for me with the wideband setup. Use EFILive mostly on the Z28. Mike

    You guys know how I ride... (Z71 Bumpstops inside)

    Alex, are you using BT spindles + keys to get that low? I had a set of lowering keys and now I'm kinda regretting selling them lol... Mike

    Billsteins With DJM Arms?

    I've never ran Bilsteins in the rear but they will probably be the choice of shock that ends up back there. I cant stand these BT Nitro Drops. Not using shock extenders as they're a shorter shock for the drop. Ive never heard of anyone referencing the Z71 bumpstops. I know where theres a...

    Thanks. I'll post up some better pics once I get the thing dropped a bit more, get the smaller rear tires etc. Mike

    Adjusting/Tweaking Keys

    Well, I think I may have had my wheels turned slightly on the first measurement. I measured again before I started tweaking the keys and they were both relatively close to 34". Something else I learned yesterday, don't take measurements on a sloped driveway lol.... I was adjusting the keys and...

    Adjusting/Tweaking Keys

    Yeah I got it aligned yesterday. Wheels had some serious positive camber before the alignment lol... Its all good now. Played with the key adjustments tonight and think I got it where its gonna be for awhile. DS front=32-7/8 PS front=33 DS rear=34 PS rear=34-1/8 I'm sorta banking on...

    Adjusting/Tweaking Keys

    I'm about to start tweaking the front key adjustments. Any Idea how many turns will drop another inch or so? Right now I've got 26.5 turns on the driver side, and 21 turns on the passenger. Driver side front is at 33" and passenger side front is at 34". On another note, about how much can...

    Billsteins With DJM Arms?

    OK so initial impressions are mixed about the drop and the overall ride etc.. First, the Bilsteins seem to work amazing. Very compliant but not quite as firm as I was hoping for. Seem to be about like a stock shock, on a stock height Tahoe to be quite honest. Was hoping for a little firmer...

    Billsteins With DJM Arms?

    Well good news! I installed the 3/5 drop and Bilstein shocks today. Not a job I would recomend doing alone lol. Couple times I wished I hand a third arm when installing the DJM front arms. Truck is going to the alignment shop tomorrow. Once I get the stance dialed-in I'll start a new thread with...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Installed 3" DJM front arms, Bilstein shocks, Belltech 5305 rear coils. Now I need to get an alignment. :) Mike

    Billsteins With DJM Arms?

    Sorry guys, been busy with other things and havent got the 3/5 drop installed yet. I did get the shocks though. The eyelet needed some slight modification. The hole was just a tad too small so i drilled em out w a 1/2" bit. Then the metal insert was roughly 1/8" too wide and wouldn't slip into...

    Finally lowered!

    Lookin good man! Mike

    Shocks??

    I'll have to agree with Alex. I've ran Bilsteins on quite a few GM rigs and they are 10x better than a stock shock and feel very connected with the road. Although they are firmer than stock, I would hardly call them "stiff". IMO Bilsteins are one of the best shocks out there for the coin spent...

    How low did they go? New Tahoe, unknown drop & towing question.

    Those new ones dont look bad, but damn, those 330'sfor looked 100x better IMO lol..... Mike

    That's some great Info guys! Thanks for doing the leg work on this. I knew their had to be some other shock options out there. Mike

    Billsteins With DJM Arms?

    So these have the bar still installed and would need to be pressed out, correct? Were these for a full size Chevy truck originall? Out of those two, the top one looks like it's for a full size F-150, while the ones on the bottom appear to be for a mid-size Ranger/Mazda truck. I'm guessing...

    Billsteins With DJM Arms?

    Anyone running Billstein shocks with the DJM lowering arms? If so, got a part number for them? Always had great luck with Billstein shocks and I like the way they ride. A part number for a front Belltech shock used with a DJM arm would be a good place to start if anyone can supply the part...

    Pics of 2/4 drop on 24"s?

    Coolest pic! I've got a 4th gen Z28 also. What year is your Camaro? Looks like an LT1 era. Mike
