I was running the djm 4" control arms with stock spindle but removed them after 2 weeks. The reason was my front springs are sagging and it ended up being a 5" drop and tires were rubbing pretty good. Other than that it rode pretty good on the stock shock. I have em laying around somewhere lol. I had pics of the setup but now i cant acces my photobucket account.

I don't have pics but I'm also running the djm 4 inch drop upper and lower control arms. Stock spindle and spring. Stock height shocks fit as well. I've had them in for about 5 years now with no issues
