Now DJM control arms, on the other hand, I have heard of them breaking... [/QUOTE]
Can you explain this or support with some evidence? Not doubting you, but would just like some more info on the matter.
Remember that quote Naked AV
Ever time this subject comes up I've never seen you add that you heard of DJM LCA breaking.
Have you ever used LCA?
Just curious
Sexyblu03 call DJM they make LCA and the new style spindles. Ask them whitch one they recomend for you to use.

When I was shopping for a way to drop my truck I found three ways - torsion keys, control arms, and spindles. At that time I was hanging around on FSC, and also asked a few people in the lowering business in L.A. what was the best way to drop my truck. I heard that torsion keys made the ride sloppy, that DJM's products were less than stellar - especially their control arms - and that I should also stay away from the Belltech spindles.
So that's how I ended up with the McGaughys spindle. To be honest, it's been a year and a half or so, so I don't recall who told me what. But I do remember that more than one person told me to stay away from the DJM stuff, it was more like 3-4 people. Sorry I can't remember specifics.

You will have no problems with your alignment. The guy that did my alignment said that it was one of the best kits he had seen. Got it back to factory specs. I depth checked all four of my tires a couple months ago. There was only 20 to 25 thousands of an inch difference in all four tires.I have over 25000 miles on them.
I will check around to day to see if I can help you find some ball joints.
