I don't know about other kits, but with the DJM there was a few brackets I had to cut off, and I had a plasma at my disposal so it made it easier. To do it with a grinder and a cutt off wheel would suck lol. Go ahead and buy a pinion shim kit just in-case it's off. 20 bucks ain't much to add to the kit and you can fix it on day one instead of waiting another week like me lol. Plan to get an alignment as soon as you get done. I did the all the front of the of the truck at a buddy's tire shop, so we aligned it right after the install. Dont do it by yourself, you can get the driver side spring under the axle with out moving the gas tank, but it takes two people to do it.(one has to push the axle over and the other moves the spring)

Basically, you're using stock 20" rims with stock tires. Cool!!!

Any clearance issues up front or rear? What about your turning radius, did you see much of a loss and is there any rubbing on the inside of the wheel wells???

Thanks in advance.

Haven't had any clearance issues or rubbing, but I havent hit any bumps hard yet either, I have been taking it easy since one my pinion angle is still off and two these DJM shocks suck
