NORCALSS 3/5-6 drop kit? JUST DO IT.

[NORCAL SS]

are shock extenders needed for the rear?

Yes and included with my custom kit

Installed the kit yesterday, took 9 hours from start to finish (2 of us working on it, also did brakes on all corners and painted all calipers and brackets). Looks killer, rides very good. Not nearly as stiff as I thought it was going to be. Was not too hard to install at the shop, just a lot of work. Anyways, here are some pics.

Before (36.75" and 37.5" from ground to fender lip)

After (32.5" and 33" from ground to fender lip)

Alignment specs (caster does not cause issues with tire wear)

Front (Belltech shocks, DJM lower arms, stock keys, severe duty upper BJ's)

Rear (Belltech shocks, DJM rear kit, 6" springs WITH 1" spacer, free travel mod is 100% necessary for this all to work, Spohn track bar. Relocating sway bar properly is CRITICAL, that thing has a sweet spot to avoid contact with other components)

Thanks to Tony for answer all my questions and offering a slick package to put the truck where i wanted it!

Bottom line, if you are thinking about it. DO IT. If you already installed this kit, and are having issues, something was not done right. I've never modified suspension before. Just took my time, read the directions with some supplemental info from Tony, and it all went together smoothly.

Any questions are welcome.

i designed the rear coils. My custom kit rides smooth its pretty much my feedback from years of doing them and i dialed in the best riding set up

The picture shows no rear shock extenders. Its actually mounted on the factory mount, any reason why?

 

[NORCAL SS]

just noticed that my kit has the extenders. Not sure why not there.

Will it work like that or will something bad happen?
