im looking to lower my 2000 nbs tahoe 4x4 with 20" oem nnbs tahoe wheels. i want to do a 3/5" drop. if i do a 2/3' drop i know i wont be satisfied. i know that Norcal ss has a 3/5" kit for 4x4. there kit uses dim parts. i have read that djm suspension is rough (how is it really) and mcnaughty is better. i also read that the reason why djm is rough is due to the shock they recommend.

can some on set me on the right path. i have no problem getting Norcal ss kit. i just want to be happy. is there another kit out there i can use or tell me what individual parts i need to achieve the 3/5" drop. if i get norcals kit do i need anything else like shocks. also down the road i am looking to get the 22" trailblazer ss wheels would that be an issue with a 3/5" drop.


thanks in advance

I have the DJM 3" drop arms on the front and Belltech 5305 rear springs and it doesn't ride rough at all. The front spring rate (torsion bars) does not change at all with the DJM arms. I chose to go with Bilstiens on the front and I couldn't be happier with the ride. I'll be adding Bilstiens to the rear in about a week.
