DJM Drop Help!!!

Has anybody ever bought from them? This is the worse piece, first of all they use two pieces of thin wall tube to take place of the bushing Ford uses to align. They hit the socket on the frame the sway bar end link broke from the angle. I made a bushing and now the alignment doesn't move daily but I am just wondering if the sway bar can be realigned?

im assuming your truck is a 2x4

what kit are you using, like 2/4 4/6 3/5 etc. And how is it lowered, coils/flip rear axle, coils/hangers/shackles...

Giving that info will help ppl be able to answer your question.

It would help if you had the basic information listed about your truck when you ask a question.

Looking at your headlight post helped some...

There are many people who have the djm kit and swear by it. They are also the same people who have had alignment issues, early tire ware and have had parts break.

Any change in your front suspension greater than a 2" requires more than a change in the lower control arm to maintain alignment. Remember, you still have stock springs, shocks and now a lower control arm to achieve the lowered stance. The newer 2.5 arms are better than the previous ones since they align better.
