I installed the DJM 2/3 inch drop in my tahoe. The front was the torsion bar keys and the rear was the springs with the shock extenders. After the drop i went ahead and got a wheel alignment. This is where the tragic starts.... before i explain the issue please understand the truck was all original and never in an accident.

The wheel alignment tech who is actually someone i know couldnt get the passenger wheel straight. It was set to the max and he couldnt get out of all the negative camber it had. The drivers side was actually straight and looked perfect but as for the passenger side it looked like it was running on the inner side of the tire which of course it was. After messing around and taking alot of his time i gave up and went home to look at it myself and go over it. I was able to crank the torsion bars up a little to give me more postive camber but still not enough. If i go up anymore the front of the truck will be higher then the rear.

Why is this and is there a solution. I really dont understand why i have to live with it even though its a small drop. SHould i have gone with the front spindles instead?
Some before and after pictures.

 

Because any suspension changes (done right) can be a real PITA...

Did you call the manufacture?

 

Curious as to how the ride is now after lowering. Seems like the rear spring would have to be a little stiffer to keep it from bottoming out.

 

No I didn't. I wasn't sure if the manufacture would assist if it was only torsion keys changed out in the front if I did major changes and a part didn't fit then I would call. I will see if djm has a tech forum or email address for issues and see what they have to say. I just can't believe it only dropped an inch and half and I encountered this crap. Anyone else experience this??

 

First I've heard of it. Like SST said, give DJM a call. Can't hurt.

How ride? See post #3.

 

I will give them a call and see what they say hopefully later today or tomorrow first thing. As for the ride its good. Just like i expected. Its stiffer which is good going around turns and manuvering on parkway but when you hit a bump its harder then normal. I love the stance and i think for what i paid it was well worth it. The only issue is with my dam negative camber issue.

 

I posted on the tech support page of DJM stating my issue so lets see if they get back to me. I couldnt find a tech support number only email tech page.
