Bottom out?

[S.L.A.B]

What parts will i need for a 3/5 drop on my 05 yukon so it wont bottom out i have found all the parts online that i will need to drop it for $583 (3in drop A arms, 5in drop coils w/ hardware kit) so all i need to do is find this mystery part. I've herd of a C-kit? But would like more info. Anybody have any knowledge on this topic?

Cody, all you need to do is the free travel mod. That will give you all the travel you'll need with a static drop on these trucks. I'm running the 5.5" drop springs and with the free travel mod it's still smooth as butter.

Few things

1) you need shocks front/rear
2) the 5 inch rear djm kit rides bad i do not sell those springs anymore

3) here is the complete kit with front/rear shocks and new rear bumpstops. Better ride and sits lower in back. also you have to cut off the bumpstop bracket off the frame so I include new bumpstops.

you will see the rear kit I use tb springs and belltech street performance shocks much nicer ride. Anything else just ask i sell and install these kits.

you will need to do this mod also to make it ride good in back

thank you for the help. i just got my rims on(295/35/24) today and the next thing on my list is to get that 3/5 in a couple months. This helped clear up my confusion about "bottoming out",thanks again.

Hey Tony how do you feel about ordering the lowering kit prior to putting 24''s on? I want to get it low where I want it (3/5) then when i go get new wheels make sure it has the right offset and tire size (try em on like the shoe store!)

one good thing the djm a arms works with 16 inch wheels (spare) so there is no issues. for the wheels you run with this kit is a 24x9.5 with 38mm offset and a 305 35 24 and you will have no issues.

I hate to keep thread jacking SLAB, but what about 24x10 +30mm with 295-35-24''s? I know minor trimming on the fender well plastic would be necessary but what about actual fender to tire rub? Thanks.

With a 295 that offset you will be fine.
