1FASTBRICK Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Have you check out the kits from DJM suspension. I picked up a set and I'm happy with them. I see you stay in SoCal. If you decide to go their kit. they'll let you pick it up from the warehouse Personally, I don't like the way the rear one mounts. I also think they were designed more for lowered applications where as mine is stock height. That's why I am looking to see if there is any interest in bringing the Hotchkis kit back. It has the largest front bar available where it makes most of the difference. I realize these trucks weren't meant for Autocross, but the look you get passing someone rounding a bend like frwy on and off ramps, transitions and so on is Priceless!!! Also those sudden lane changes to avoid accidents or road debris make it hard to control these heavy pigs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few have said the Belltech rear hits too at least with the Corsa and does not clear aftermarket diff covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol jk But I heard some people have problems with clearance with the DJM kits will good luck with trying to get a kit from them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A catback was the most cost effective route to repair it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilEz02 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Wanted to throw this out there for the ones that heard the rear bar didt add much. When I had my 2002 I added a rear bar. I just made mounts and added a stock Tahoe rear bar for the time being and WOW is all I can say. A rear bar does so much for the trucks. They should have been on there from factory (especially the SSS) these kits look very nice and top notch. Like the way they mount also. Anyone on fence about it, trust me, you will be very satisfied, surprised and love the way it handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_LSX_ Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) I'd be more interested in the Hotchkis TVS springs being produced again. So far I can only find the Hotchkis front springs. The rear leaf springs appear unobtainable.

NORCAL SS Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 i sold both hotchkis and others and hands down the djm rear bar due to being shorter and mounting on inside frame rails and the mounts are much more beffy the bars handle better than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
