Re: Djm 5" f/r drop install (with pics)
My tip(s) would be to remove the rear bump stops and brackets before you install the flip kit.
More room to work with the axle farther away from the frame.
Trim the front bumpstops or remove them all together.
Since you have 15x8 ralleys, you will need to do a little grinding on the lower control arms around the ball joint area. Otherwise you will have some clearance issues with the wheel.
You'll need to tweak (bend) the steel part of the rubber brake hose that attaches to the front calipers.
The drop spindles make these lines really close to the upper ball joints.
Spray everything with penetrating oil for a few days prior to getting started.
Use plenty of safety stuff,... like jack stands and safety glasses.
Take your time and take PLENTY of pics!
