Default DJM Z71 3/4 Drop

Still not complete, no shocks on the front yet and still a couple bolts I have to get into one rear hanger. An alignment of course. I haven't driven it yet other than in and out of the garage to take these pictures.

Before:


After:


Has a little rake to it. I will level it I think. It was about right in the garage and driving it out it settled I guess.

Looks good. I would leave the rake, but i'm biased, I like the old school stance. Which shocks did you end up choosing?

Damn looks like Im going to be too low for my taste since I was going to add on drop keys andsame setup as you in the rear but lift blocks removed. Looks damn good, take your rear lift blocks out and it will be level, blocks are ~1.5"

thanks and a note. I didn't use the shackles that came with the DJM kit. The shackle bolt holes were to small and I didn't have a big enough drill bit to drill them. I used the shackles that I already had on it. Laid side by side to the DJM they should have dropped the rear about another inch.
