Yup DJM4/6 is a good kit and also I heard the Mcgaughy's 4/6 Deluxe kit is also pretty good. The mcgaughy's uses the new spindles and coils up front and costs a little more than the DJM. Heard nothing but good things on both of the kits.! I'm going with a 4/6 DJM on my truck!

The only thing about the LCA's DJM kit I heard it causes bump steer due to the repositioning of the tie rods. Theres a kit to eliminate that so no biggie! And I also heard on the Mcgaughy's you lose some turning radius.

Try to do the drop yourself with some help is not that difficult! Or have someone help you with some knowledge of mechanics and some simple tools.

But there are some shops that can charge arms and legs for the install. From 400 to 600 bucks. Call around locally and see if there is a shop that would do it for cheap if you want it done by pros.
