Exactly what Ketis said, I called DJM about it 2 weeks ago and they told me it did not work and it was a waste of time and money, lol. not what i expected to hear with my credit card in-hand ready to order

I have read that guys loved it, and was like night and day when going to a 3-4" static front drop....not that mine is bad, but WTF?? I guess I could make my own. I guess I will see what it takes, and who can machine me an insert.

I found one!! thanks blown02408! I took a look at the way my truck sits, but in the air on wheel lifts. the tie rods are at a really bad upward angle. if I am looking at it right it will bring my tie rods back level again like stock ish. I hope it works. I need to lower my sway bar end links too once the tie rods are fliped(they will hit the tie rod if you lower them without the flip).
