Shocks? What you running for shocks? Could very easily be the issue...

Haha thats most likely the issue.
Remember DJMs "CrapMax" shocks are known to ride interestingly.
Try some Monroe Sensatraks, Bilsteins or Belltechs and see how you like them.
Then again what DJMDIRECT said could be true, they're 5" drop spprings are no better.

I'm gonna either try the trailblazer springs or bag it, haven't decided.

The shocks if they are truly junk I can see giving it the ride, but I'm 99.9% positive its the panhard over dips pushing the truck side to side.

I might try the spring/diagonal link and a good shock like a strange or qa1 double adjustable and see how that goes.

trust me on this the Trailblazer djm 4 inch spring mated to the djm rear shocks rides great. Reaguardless the djm 4 inch traiblazer spring will ride a lot better than what you have on there now.

Why instead of trying to reinvent the wheel don't you just shorten the panhard bar slightly or build a shorter one to correct the pivot point? I noticed when mine was lowered that one wheel was much closer to the wheelwell than the other, but I threw a spacer on there and let it ride. My vote was if you are could to run the bars towards the back of the bumper just remove the coils all together and place your bags on the bars that triangulate towards the back where the spare tire was? That is my plan if the stuff I have done thus farand will do doesn't work

not reinventing the wheel at all, just fixing GM's poor idea for the better. I could lengthen it around 1/4" but it's still a push/pull panhard bar in the end. I'll post pics and all that when I get it done.


DJM Direct... I talked to you about the stiff springs and I'll be getting a set of your springs to try.

im bagged in the rear with aftermarket shocks and the factory panhard and i still get the wiggle over dips. aired out my driver tire tucks and the quarter panel sits on top of the passenger tire. was gonna shorten the panhard but when its aired to ride height i think it will look goofy. i got all my valves and tank and compressor in the spare tire location so i dont see much room for a wishbone or whatever else...
