i have both kits. Now which do i use? I know the djm makes the pinion angle adjustable correct? does the belltech have a built in angle to correct drive line or would i need to add shims? I am partial to doing the belltech and shims because its a solid mount. I will be making it a 4 inch kit with stock shackles and djm lifting hangers. Up front i am using the old style djm 2.5 lowers arms.

I have the DJM kit on my 07 and love it.
the pinion is adjustble yes..and the way it's made: no way it can move if installed correctly(thight enough)

But you'll need a bearing carriere relocator bracket if you have a 2piece drive shaft

belltech is a 5 inch kit stock shackles make it a 6 inch kit. DJM has the front lifting hangers for 4 inches

yea im going to use stock shackles with lifting hangers for 4 inches. this is how i understand you make the kit 4 inches? or do i use the lifting shackles and hangers?

im asking which hardware as in the portion that bolts to the axle is better? they are completly different designs.

i have a one piece shaft so no worries

NORCAL SS

incorrect

4 inch you need
djm front hangers
rear lifting shackle

gotcha! i thouht the lifting hangers were good for 2 inches so you only used them.

NORCAL SS

Ok so original question use the Djm or bell tech? And if I use the bell tech do I need shims or is the kit built with correct driveline angles in mind?
