alright guys, it looks like everything was done correctly on the lowering kit, does anyone know where I can get the 5" drop for the rear? I like the look of the front but I would like to see the rear get lower, What does the 5" rear drop consist of parts wise? Thanks guys. Chase

DJM makes a 5" drop spring for the rear....part number CS2000R-5.....you'll also need something else but you'll have to look at there site. Something like shock extenders and sway bar extension.

Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but why whould you need to "extend" a shock when lowering a vehicle. Wouldn't the idea be to somehow shorten it? Please educate me.

the extender moves the mounting point of the shock up, or down from the frame, I guess you could say it tricks the shock. If you extend the shock an extra inch its going to want to settle back to its original position thus letting the truck sit lower and still have the same rate of compression.
