I'm not familiar with the DJM kit, but one thing you don't want to do is
attempt any lowering of the front end by more 2" with springs alone.
It's a piss poor way to go about it, IMO, and particularly on the DAKS
it seems to introduce horrendous bumpsteer.
I went with the Western kit which uses a-arms to get those 2 inches. I'd
stay away from the Bell Tech kits or any other that uses springs and
blocks alone to get the job done. Yeah, you end up with the same look,
but at what cost for ride quality and drivability?
Someone mentioned having ridden in the actual truck in the article. Ride
quality was said to be about equal to stock. That's what you wanna see
when you're done.
