I think I might have found a drop kit on another forum I am apart of. The kit is 3" eibach keys and 5" djm rear springs. My question is what shocks do I need to get?

3 inch on keys means wont align and ride is horrible also you will need a camber kit.

And in rear if they are the djm 5" tahoe springs prepare for your back to break. They ride really stiff this is why the tb springs work out great.

Just trying to save you a headache.

Curious how much is he selling everything shipped to you for like $100

Yeah he is selling for $100 and he is in San Leandro so I would just meet him, but every time I think I find something it turns out to be more work then just buying a brand new kit. Funds a little tight for that right now.

Im just trying to save you money man. Id rather see a person save up and put in a kit that rides great and one time deal then you spend money now and be like dam this sucks.

Camber kit add 75 bucks at least then you have to pull out the uppers and install it.

5 inch rear kit you will need to cut brakcet off frame and do the djm hardware kit with shorter shocks. hardware kit is $190 with new bumpstops and shocks front/rear are 225.

So your at
$100 for the kit
$75 for camber kit
$225 for shocks
$190 for djm kit
So almost $600 bucks and ride is going to be harsh. Im in san francisco so if you pay cash I can give you a good deal on my 3/5 kit if you decide to wait.
