got my lowering kit on, few questions

[Trevor]

wonder if there aerostars work with a 8" rear drop? post some pics man.

Your most likely bottomed out in the rear. If you moved the location of your rear hangers then you changed the amount of travel that is to be put on those shocks. Your front's I don't know of though. I don't think they sell a 4" drop control arm so you probably also threw in a spring or changed something else like the spindle. If its DJM call the people you bought the kit from they should have recommendations as to if you do infact need drop shocks. My recommendations are to stay away from TOXIC drop shocks. I am changing to Belltech Doetsch drop shocks over the winter.

found the suggestion on GMFS back when i lowered my truck, bout 3 yrs ago, i still have these shocks on my truck today, 3 yrs and no probs, what more can u ask for from a pair of $50 shocks

[smoothdime]

[banker099]

i would say 4-8 in drop and yes, rear only

[smoothdime]
