I bought the DJM 3/5 drop kit but still havent had the time to put in the front spring hangers. I removed my overloads and extended the shackles so their 1" from the bottom of my bed

Did any of you guys have to change out your rear shocks for a shorter one? If so what did you use.:thumb:
I'm going with the 3/5 djm kit for mine not sure on wheels something in 20". I have 3" belltech in rear now and front turned down and want lower lol.
Lol I can foresee myself doing the same, I just want to make sure my rims/tires fit in the front before I go to crazy, plus I mentioned a 5" drop to the wife.....She called me an idiot and said she didn't want me have a mini-truck.....yeah she just doesn't understand sometimes, its easier to agree and move on lol.
So with the DJM 3/5 drop do you have to remove the overload spring? I am not wanting to loose the ability to tow my 5er!
I've had the DJM 3/5 kit on my truck for almost 3 years now. I am using the top holes in the hangers to get it as level as I can and with it like that my axle sits about 3" from the frame. With a few fat friends in the back seat it will bottom out on a decent sized dip in the road. Load my King Quad in the back or hook up my boat and you'll get a beating. I spent a lot of time figuring out an on-board air system with bags and now it is great. I can raise or lower my back end about 6" with a switch in the cab. With about 40 lbs of air it can handle a serious load.
Here are a few picks.

Thanks for the compliments. I like having a unique truck.
