Aim/DJM lowering kit thread

Yep Crazed, I remember that. That's the situation I was thinking about. Seems like it was one of us Bruddas and not a newbe. I think it was a different thread though. One on our Bump board rather than a Slick board. I never go on the Slick board. I have nothing against 'em. I just prefer the Bumps and own one.

There was acouple of people like yourself that had older AIM kits and also said they had zero problems. Seems to be the more recent years customers that the complaints are coming from. From being in the casting/machining industry I've seen many tolerances and molds get thrown out of whack. In most cases a mold is only good for so long then it gets out of tolerance so it is replaced with a new one. Not sure what kind of fixture or jig they use to make them. But one of the workers could have knocked the fixture around or something. Some places make a big production run of parts then push the table in the corner for months on end until they need it again. In that time things could get stacked on top of it or hit with a tow motor or other things. making it out of whack. I've seen this happen first hand.

For the rear, flip the spring hangers or do an axle flip (a spring-under conversion).

That's funny right there. I am very curious though if they have fixed the problem with them. Guess we have our guinea pig to test them out. Tsoza86 please post pics when you get them and let us know how the fitment is.

Rear shackle kit is a bolt on. You might want to buy their pinion shim kit if it doesn't come with the kit.

DJM make their own pinion shims that come with a new bolt with a little bushing to go on the head end that will hold the shim in place. I've heard some people complain that shims will not stay in place very well.
