Default 2015 DJM and Belltech 1000sp

2015 DJM and Belltech 1000sp-dmh3qlb6gowszvcf8iufi3af0ojtlkbqhjxbpin1hnipx92ib.jpg
Finally got my truck dropped with my DJM 3" A arms and Belltech 1000SP kit. My truck was only about 1.5" worth of rake from factory so i figured 1" with struts and 3" with A arms plus the 5.5" flip kit would sit it flat.

This is what it looked like when i went to pick it up. They hadn't installed the Belltech shackles so the rear dropped 7" and he did all 6" in front. Needless to say the front air dam was on the ground.

It is being raised back up so i can still use my truck as a truck. 1.5" in rear and 2.5" front.

More pics to follow.

Before shot

they left my factory shackles on it so using the Belltech ones should bring the rear up 1.5" and putting spacers back in the front of the Belltech struts should raise it 2.5"

that's going to be a lot more drivable that it was. good choice to raise it back up a little.

It rides and looks better at the current height. Other option would be fine if you had air ride setup to raise it up to ride.

Truck looks great did you have any issues with the bell tech struts and djm arms ? Are the bushings on the bell tech struts the same size as one that come with the djm arms?
Im thinking of adding the djm arms to my bell tech dropped 4x4 as my control arm angle are crazy and front end binds up when turning and m y alignment is still at -1.4 even after frame mods. So thinking the djm arms will improve the control arm angles so less binding and hopping alignment might be able to be corrected

Beautiful stance. I just installed my Belltech 1001Sp (2/4) this weekend and I'm definitely not satisfied with the outcome. The rear is 1-5/8" higher than the front so I'm debating on install a shim up front on the strut or to go ahead and remover the drop bracket and lift shackle from the rear, remover the CCB bracket and go ahead and drop it to the 5". I want a nice level look like yours but worry about cutting the CCB bracket if I do the 5" due to bringing it to stock years down the road when I resell it. I plan on keeping the bracket and cutting it right on the weld (with hopes of being able to re-install later if need be)
