I'm a fan of the front DJM setup, but I dislike their flip kit for the rear.

I've been very happy with my Belltech 3/4 drop kit.
It improved my ride by softening the rear and the front coils with shocks took the extra bounce out it use to have.
I have a bad back so a comfortable ride is important to me.

Ground Force 2/4 drop here with Eibach dampers. Nice handling setup.

what kind of shocks did you use? the ones you can get that come with the kit? does it make it hard to align with the geometry? thanks

get a quality progressive spring rate like Eibach.

I just went from 3/5 to 5/7 drop

will just control arms drop it in the front with stock springs? do the 3 inch springs put much of a strain on ball joints?

yes and not too bad on the BJ's my uppers lasted 50k lowered 30 non lowered, my lowers were done at 60k, so 30 lowered, 30 non lowered.

yes arms will drop 2" and keep factory ride quality, just make sure you get UCAs to turn the ball joint at the correct angle for being lowered.
