Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

[Blazed]

Djm shock extenders are a miserable failure. Ill explain tonight.

 

[Modded]

They are purtty!

So I start to feel like I don't have any shocks.
So I get under my car and I see this.
The threaded plates that are supposed to hold the extenders in place have disappeared.
The extender moves freely no and the shocks don't have to do anything.
I hate this suspension more than anything.

^^^i had that exact same thing happen which is why I went to a shorter shock and ditched the shock extender brackets. I hated those things!!

 

[Blazed]

Well ******* awesome I just bought these long shocks.

If you can find a good way to keep those brackets from moving you'll be alright but you may need to break out the welder to do so I wasn't successful on my numerous attempts. I didn't know you had those or I would have warned you

They just got put on last Saturday when I had the hardware kit installed.
That never once happened when I had the belltech extenders.
It was a stupid design by djm to begin with.

 

[07Burb]

^^agreed

 

[Blazed]

I also don't really understand why they are the only company whos end links are curved and on top of that one more than the other which makes it slightly difficult to get the sway bar attached to them.

Once again, you guys can see why a lot (not all though) of DJM shit should to be avoided.
Same exact thing happened to me from the kit I got from Tony. That is why I recommend Belltech extenders.
Blazed, this is the cause of the flexing and ride issues you were complaining about after installing that rear kit.
I was able to salvage my set of extenders by using thick 3/4" high strength washers and bolt/locking nuts from Home Depot.
