doing a workout program that requires deadlifts, and its hell on my back (and not in a good way) im hurting for 2 days after, and am pretty much useless around the office/home.
I checked out videos on youtube on a proper form to see if maybe thats the reason for such pain, and even after I follow what i saw as proper form, and dropped some of the weight, I still cant get out of this pain. I would like to substitute this excercise with something that will give me, if possible, the same work on my body. what is a good substitute...DK? toprock?

if your experiencing pain that is more than just muscle soreness (assuming your using correct form) than there might be something wrong with your back that you should see a doctor about .... otherwise after doing deadlifts regularly your body should adjust and the soreness shouldnt be as extreme

It is incumbent on you, yes You, to educate yourself to a sufficient extent that you are in a position to evaluate information issued from a position of authority. You are supposed to be able to recognize silly bullshit when you hear it.

hey DK ... while o nthe topic i saw a guy using sumo stance DL'ing off of the rack up about 12" ... whats the point to this ... i mean he was lift about 6 plates on each side but with sumo stance and off the rack that just seems to me like its pointless each of those make it that much less of a distance that your pulling the weight ... seems to me thats more of a excersize you do jsut to say you lifted "this" much weight

Try sumo style. It may feel better and you'll lift more weight. If not, you don't need to deadlift. Yeah, it sucks if you can't, but you don't NEED to. If you have a back injury, or think you do, go get it looked at immediately. Don't play.

Use a trap bar to allow for more form adjustment in the beginning. You can put more emphasis on legs in the beginning if you wish and slowly strenghten up your back by slowly leaning over more and more untill you get to that prefered form as you can handle the weight better. This is not possible with a straight bar. I did this and it worked perfectly.

Also do weighted hyperextensions to assist in getting your lower back stronger. That will aid in deadlifts as well.
