whats up guys/gals? i have a friend with an 07 chevy silverado thats dropped 4/7 with djm controll arms (upper and lower) and a flip kit out back. trying to change out his ball joints (top and bottom ones) but having a hard time trying to see if we need to get them from djm or just an auto parts store? and also his rear bounces a bunch he has bell tech nitro drop 2 any ideas as to why it would bounce so much?

My control arms are stock but I replaced my balljoints with moog ones and they have been fine. I've never used those shocks but do they bounce as in they are stiff and firm bounce or bounce as in bottom out? Also single cab, ex cab, crew?

Figured this would be a better place to post this.

I found this kit on the suspension source.com but it doesn't specify if it will work on a 4wd or not. Anyone use them before? Claims 5 year warranty.

Wanna say mine is 305/35r24 on a 4/6 drop.

Also what shocks would work on a 3/5 4/6 adjustable kit.

And lastly. How do I change out the front coil on the strut?

Been itching to ask for a week now

Yeh Kris is on point! All my parts came in after a week and a half of the order being shipped. Currently all sitting in my living room waiting for snow too start melting!


NOW, anyone know where would be the best place too get an HD front end? Scrap or shop? Any good websites?

How was shipping to Ontario? And I'm assuming you're doing a 4/7, do we need the camber kit?

I shipped it too Champlain New York and went too pic it up their. After bringing it back through borders i still saved like 300 bucks from shipping haha. I actually have a 6/9 kit. I needed the aligment kit, not sure about 4/7. Send her a email shes knows her shit!

Thanks, I wish I lived closer to the border.

So hard to find anyone in Onterrible with lowering kits that aren't priced through the roof.

If you flip it, I would use the highest grade bolts you can find. Instead of the LCA pushing up the strut, its pulling it with the bolts, making them take all of the stress instead of the strut.
