[johnnyt5646]

i just did a 3/5 with tb 4320 springs 3" control arms. my rear sits a touch lower. i do have the spring seats out. can i get lowering keys and still get close with alignment. i want about an 1.5" lower in front. what are my options.

You can go 1.5" with keys. what I would do is get the keys, tell the alignment shop to go as low as you can while keeping your camber in spec. If that's not low enough, you can get the Belltech camber kit and then you'll be good.

did you decrank the keys in the front?

in front if you want 1.5 you will need spindles and then crank the keys up. djm 3 inch lower a arms and using the keys for another 1.5 inches will ride really ruff in front.

yes i have decranked my keys all the way. does front ride worse cranked all the way up or decranked all the way out.

either. All the way up or all the way down wont ride great. However, what Tony is telling you to do is buy spindles that will lower you 2 inches, then use your keys to go back up 1/2". that lit bit of cranking on your keys to get you up 1/2" wont be a bad ride at all.

djm kit with djm kit does not ride well not matter what you do. Change the front shocks and rear shocks to belltech and rear springs ditch for my 6 inch and ride will be aaaa looootttttttttt better

post a pic so we can see what it looks like. you may need to adjust your keys to get it sitting right, also get an alignment.

yeah, I'd say front is an inch or so too high.

So you have DJM 3" drop arms up front with the keys completely de-cranked and the front is still higher? What are the actual measurements from pavement to fender lip front/rear? What size wheel/tire combo also?

Something doesn't add up. How long have you owned the truck? Is it possible that the previous owner installed 2" lift keys to level out the ride? My GF's Tahoe had lift keys installed and it clearly sits higher in the front than all the other Tahoe's I've ever seen but it looks level front to back, It does not have the raked look that a lot of them have.

The pic in my sig is 3" DJM arms, and it's not anywhere close to de-cranked all the way. It's at 32.25 in the front with a 305/40/22 tire.
