05+ 2WD extra cab 5-lug Drop

haha, do u know what he is planning on putting on there? also ive checked out some of your products before, do u sell djm arms?

 

ok cool, so then he must have got at least 2" from his 4x4 leafs when he installed them prior to this drop I did.

The best place for the DJM arms is from a forum member who can separate the DJM kit and sell them separately. I thought I just saw some on customtacos for like $100. The guy that sells the arms is SSNORCAL or something like that. One of these guys will chime in and know his exact username. The two 2nd gens I did both had the DJM arms purchased ahead of time from him, and then used my rear kit and I did custom weld in c-notch on both trucks.

 

sweet, thanks for the info man. i am def trying to figure out the cheapest way possible to lower my truck. and i wont be planning on notching it for now at least

 

hey brian! i posted some pics up on another thread with the new wheels on there. i haven't called or text you lately because i thought you were busy doing some builds for other members. I would like to setup another appointment to see whats going on with the rear as soon as your free. as of right now i havent been driving with any passengers because of the clearance issue. let me knw dude! thanks!

oh crap i didnt realize that was u haha

 

WOW Aaron, your truck looks freakin" TIGHT now! One thing I noticed in your post is a error regarding the Beefed Blocks......we were going to do 4" blocks, but when I took some measurements I knew they'd be too tall, so we went with the 3"ers. Remember I had 2"ers and it just wasn't quite low enough, so we put the 3's back in. I'll text you and we'll setup a visit to my shop to deal with the blk box crossmember and bed ridge. Hey, can you get us a side shot so we can see the stance with the new tires/wheels on. Those wheels are damn sweet.

Comparison pics...

 

i just ordered a 1.5'' spacer kit for the fronts from phil on CT for $80 shipped. should level the truck and close up some wheel gap in the front. I wanted to go with the Sittin Sicc stock height coils but shane is lagging and theres a problem on x runner underground about members getting there products weeks and even months after they were purchased. Don't have time for the waiting game..

Brian, I'll have some pics for you once i get them installed.. thanks again bro! If we're able to get the rear squared away, does that mean i have enough room to drop it another inch or two?? just wondering..

 

thanks for the info man! i am planning on buying the arms seperate and then getting the beefed 4" blocks for the back but i cant notch it yet... since i bought the truck from my grandparents and im still paying it off they said i cant cut into it until its payed off haha

 

ive seen a few people drop the back 4" and everything be fine. u just cant put too much weight in the back or expect to hit huge bumps and not bottom out

 

if you don't notch you'll bottom out on EVERYTHING lol. im a 1/4" away from 4" in the back and i have two fingers worth of suspension travel.

 

u arent notched are u? how bad is it driving with it like that

 

lol its manageable, if your used to driving a dropped car/truck its not too bad. just gotta be careful, i DO bottom out on the daily though, and on pretty small bumps.

i have the stock XR bilstien shocks on the rear and that helps out ALOT, but i really want to upgrade to QA1s pretty soon. The XR shocks help over stock, bottoms out a little less, but its still can be bad.

if your not gonna notch id defiantly recommend putting on the 4X4 leafs, they are a bit stiffer than stock, so it'll be a little better than riding 4" blocks on stock leafs.

and low-pro bumpstops are a MUST.

 

cool thanks for the heads up

 

group buy ehh

 

agreed

 

group buy and how many we need to make the price cheaper or just to sell the notch

 

anyone else want the djm and notch
