I do in fact have the DJM 4/6 drop...front tire wear was a little premature, but I didn't get the upper control arms. I would strongly suggest getting them to help get your camber where it should be.

The ride is actually GREAT! I love the way my truck rides now...doesn't feel like a buggy anymore! But, I've been driving hammered vehicles for the last 10 years or so!

Nope, I haven't towed with it at all. With the tonneau cover on, the truck hits the notch/bumpstops when you really get into the throttle, so I'm guessing that your towing capacity would really be limited!

Some "helper" style airbags would work wonders for the rear setup though. My friend in town did them, and while he hasn't towed anything, the truck seems to ride a bit smoother than mine.
