he said he got them cut but maybe he was just talking about a notch off the actual bump stop and not the whole bracket

picture of underneath the car where the spring is would help the best :)

What are your fender measurements? From what i remember, i had about two inches before the axle hit the bumpstop brakcet before i cut it out. From the pic, it looks even.

djm rear springs will sit lower or you can go with the trailblazer 4 inch drop spring to bring it dead even with the front.

yah the djm tahoe 5 inch springs will sit about 1 inch lower than that. the trailblazer 4 inch djm rear drop spring will sit about 1 inch lower in rear but no biggie you just run the belltech 1 inch spacers and you will be set to go.

no prob the djm springs i can only get by themselves unless you want to buy a complete trailblazer kit everywhere else.

I hooked up with mike there since im the number one seller of their trailblazer kits and he gave me a good deal with djm

I have a mcgaughys 3/5 drop in the rear of my 03' done a few days ago and finally drove it today. The rear sits 1-1 1/2" higher than the front after we cranked the keys up some. do the springs have to settle? I have drop shocks.....
