DJM 5" Lowering Kit - OEM Bump Stops

[BUCKHNTR]

Hey Guys,

Working on bending a few rules in my local sled pulling circuit. Its an LS Powered 2500HD RCLB Sled Pulling Truck, and I'm in the middle of ordering some DJM 5" Rear Lowering Components to bring the Axle and OEM Bump Stops closer together.

Need to know. When some of you have installed these 5" Lowering Kits, how close is the OEM Bump Stop to hitting the axle and "Bottoming Out". Looking to use this as a way to block my suspension with minimum travel. The goal or plan would be that the Bump Stop and Axle sit around an inch apart, and when taking off with the sled would come down and rest on the axle for the duration of the run.

Please anyone who has installed rear lowering kits chime in. Pictures would also be great!

The djm is a true 5 inch drop in the back if you do the hanger/shackle combo. Just measure the distance from the axle tube to the bottom of the bump stop. A 5 inch drop in the back on a full leaf pack dmax will sit at the factory bump stop, djm actually says remove the factory one and install the one they give you.

Thanks for the reply Brian,

So if I measure from Axle to Stop now, and subtract a genuine 5", that would be the actual distance once I install the DJM Kit?

Currently it measures out at 7" without the box on, which would likely squat the truck an additional inch. So that should land me right about where I want to be. Cheater's Solid Suspension Engaged :woott:
