Hey guys, i just swapped my DJM 4/6 today for a hotchkis TVS. The front came out great, and doesnt look much different than my DJM LCAs did. Anyway, the problem im having is the back is way to HIGH. It looks like its about stock height. I used edelbrock shocks, and installed the sway bar. I dont know what it is, but something is holding it up in the back. It needs to come down about 2 inches to be even with the front. Ill get pics of it in the morning, along with my eradispeed install!






And this is how low it was before.

I know the pictures suck, but ill get a few more in the morning!

 

thats normal, my truck seems like that too, although i have the belltech kit. by the way what are u doin with the 4/6 kit. would u be interested in selling it.

 

You may try some drop shackles or hangers in the back to bring it down a little bit more. Looks good!

 

I'd put shackles in the rear. Unless you have the rear swaybar, don't think you could do it then.

 

How come? Id like to lower it another 2 inches.

 

Hotckis is 2/4 and DJM is a 4/6. Did you fully remove the DJM? Hotchkis gets its 2 inches up front from shorter springs. If you still have 2 inch shackles from DJM with the springs from Hotchkis you will have a 4/4 drop and the rear will look about 2 inches too high.

Just thinking out loud.

 

OK, i had originally the djm lower control arms, and flip kit to get the 4/6. Now, i put the stock lca's on, the new hotchkis coil and sway bar in the front. I also undid the flip in the rear, removed the stock leafs, and put the hotchkis ones in. I also changed the shocks all the way around. I just cant figure why the rear is so high, Your truck looks like it sits level, mine is raked big time. Ill get some better pics in the morning, but something is not right as far as im concerned. Can I use a 2 inch lowering shakle with the hotchkis kit?

 

Wouldn't the Hotchkis springs and DJM shackles make it a 2/6?




If you don't have a rear sway bar you should be able to use shackles.

 

If you have a djm flip kit, it uses the stock shackles. Those are the same ones i reused when i installed the hotchkis leafs. Here is a pick of the djm flipkit.
