i have the djm 3-5 kit on my r/t and it seems like it wasnt the way to go.
i love the look, but the fender flares are in bad shape. i have the
255/55's still and they rub badly on dips in the freeway. i have toxic
shocks, bacause it came as a package from godfather customs. i might try
new shocks, but i have been lookin into bags. overall i would say the
install was easy, the rivets are not fun though. oh yeah, it seems to throw
the front suspension geometry kinda whacky, i think a ball joint is goin out
right now, terrible popping noise when backing up and the wheel is turned to
the right. kinda fix that. but its not a bad kit if u can keep it from
rubbing the flares.
