Lowering Question
I am thinking about lowering my truck, nothing drastic .......probably a 2/4 drop. I have searched all the forums for info and I am looking at either the DJM CA3205L2 kit (new lower control arms 2-1/2" drop) or 2" lowering springs (Roush, Eibach,?)for the front. My question is which setup is better, using new lower control arms or just changing out the springs? If you change out the springs, do you also need different shocks? Also, if anyone has installed the DJM lower control arms (2-1/2" or 3-1/2" drop) .....what was the actual distance the front was lowered and how was the ride quality?
Thanks

I just removed the same DJM lower control arms you are refering to from my '04 4x4 Supercrew. They accomplish the drop by lowering the bottom strut mounting bolt location by recessing it into the control arm. That way you use the stock strut/spring combination. The ride therefore is factory. I would suggest you go with the control arms for that reason...

I've been leaning towards the DJM lower control arms, but wanted to hear some opinions since I could get a set of springs much cheaper if I went that route. I haven't heard much about the DJM arms and the only info that I found through searches was references to your truck. How was the install and the quality? I also have a 4x4 (although a SCAB) ....was the drop about the 2-1/2" that they claim?
Anyone else have any reccomendations?
Thanks

i love my djm 2.5/4 drop and it was exactly 2.5/4 well now its a 2.5/5 but thats a different story, install wasnt bad but it deffinatly needs an alignment and before driving it get it close to where it needs to be so you can drive it, i was lazy and the shop was far from my house so i called a tow truck
the ride is like stock and great quality
the ride is like stock and great quality
