I have the DJM ones and they are kind of starting to get on my nerves, a bit uncomfy, but the main issue is they are loud. They make alot of noises in the buckets even with isolators, so I may make a switch to.
That's only going to get worse....

So Boss, how much drop are you runnning right now, and what height are you at?Compare them to the new coils so I know whehter I can get the same amount of drop I got with the DJMs.

I have no idea what the measurements are from the ground...what I measured was bottom of the wheel lip to the fender to get the heights correct on each side. I used some thin strips of rubber hose glued to the coils to eliminate the squeek and adjust the height out as best I could in the rear.

BUT I will measure the height from the floor to the fender in my garage when I install them this weekend. I'm sure they will be higher and eventually settle out...I'm ready to rid myself of these pieces of shit I have now.

This is the last change I'll do on this suspension tho, I'm going w/ bags and mini-tub around this time next year with something like 24x15 rear and 24x10 front custom wheels....

Yeah I figured it will get worst, pretty gay, but don't mind because I bought them at more than a good deal.
Good thing you live in Dallas, may just hunt you down and take those wheels from you, would look good on my Tahoe!:mexsmoke:
Intro or Boyd wheels (my guess)?

I was going to get them from Summit but it seems as they are out of stock. Has anyone towed with these springs? I towed about 8k with my wife's truck at 2-3 but never at 3-5

They tow well since they are progressive rate. I never had an issue towing with my truck I didn't pull a whole lot of weight but my buddy's obs tahoe + trailer was probably in the neighborhood of 8000lbs:

Helper bags are a necessity for these trucks + lower springs :imo:
