i got rid of my SS wheels and put the stock 16's back on, thats why i got the DJM kit.

no c-notch for the 07
the ride is just the way i wanted it. I like to feel the road. there is no body roll. the loose shock are exadurating the bumps right now, but i'd say the ride is better than the 2000 formy I had. the acceleration feels different too. there's not as much weight transfer. It just goes. I guess I need to go to the track soon. I may go get a tune from thunder, but i'm scared of removing all the TQ management.

I had the DJM 3/5 drop on my 2001 dakota. 3" control arms, 2" shack and 3" hanger. It rode very well. The control arm failed on me. it snaped at the ball joint. I was pretty rough on it though. I used to take around the road course a lot. I said i would never buy another DJM product.
but for every day use it would probably be ok.

the hardest part on the front was removing the spindles. I thought with only 2500 miles they would come off easy, Boy was I wrong, lol. The hardest part about the rear was removing the stock bump stops. I started to do the rear, but only had a dremil tool to remove the welds
. The shop that did my rear took 4 hours with an air chissel, hammer and side grinder to remove the passanger bump stop. They said the driver side came right off. the bump stops are welded on all 4 sides to the frame.

with the notch kit you have to cut the frame right? you have the part # of the kit you got? if I can do 6" in the rear without a c notch I might go that route also.
