    Shocks and tires size recommendation?

    I was selling my 08 Sierra but I decided im gonna just keep it and install the drop I have. Its a brand new DJM 4/6.

    What rear shocks would you all recommend I go with? I heard Belltech Street Performance shocks were good.

    Right now im running 305/40R22 tires. I doubt that these will fit my 4/6. Im not sure if I wanna to as low as a 285/35, would a 285/40 clear it?

    Thanks.

    FWIW I've heard people are having issues getting the front end to align properly with the DJM kits. And you can stuff some huge tires on the NNBS and not rub.

    I guess it depends on the way(parts in the kit) you drop it.

    Sorry, I saw the NNBS wheels and thought that he was talking about the truck.

    im pretty sure the uppers help correct geometry so go for it. As far as the tires, just try it and if it doesnt fit then change em

    i went with the djm shocks on mine and i like them alot. they are alot more firm than stock which helps handling but arent too rough
