2016 Sierra 4/7 Belltech Drop.

The DJM rear shocks are at best adequate. I definitely feel the rear is out of sorts compared to the factory bilsteins up front. .

 

What is the reasoning behind changing the rear shocks versus just using lower shock mounts?

As an FYI, Tim at www.timssuspensiononline.com just advised me yesterday that drop spindles for 2014 and newer 4x4's with aluminum control arms is available any day now.

 

Anyone wanna be a guinea pig? LOL

I recently lowered my sierra with the mcgaughys 2/4 drop. I'm bottoming out the rear semi regularly. Is this a) due to the shocks as I am running the stockers without extenders or b) needing aftermarket bump stops instead of trimmed stock stops or c) both need to be addressed .also is it better to use a" lowered" shock or a stock spec shock with extenders?

I have a 16 Silverado 4x4 z71, im wanting to lower the rear to be level or just slightly higher than the stock front height, what is my best way to accomplish this. I read the whole thread and didn't see this discussed. Thanks in advance.

Both.... the stock shocks are too long and so are the bump stops. I personally do not like shock extenders so I went with bell tech 2210 Street performance shocks and cut the metal bracket off of the frame that the bump stop bolts onto and cut the rubber bumper also.

Pull the block out between the axle and springs first to see if you like. It's 1 1/4" and then add shackles for more drop.

Ok thanks, that was the plan, I was just wondering if there was a proven drop already.
