i was just wondering if anyone has has heard, or has had any experience with djm 3" lower control arms? i know it will give you less ground clearance, but what would be any more drawbacks? also how do you think this would work with their 3" spindles.

it won't work with 3" spindles at all, the wheels will rub on the control arms. Just use a spring in combination with a 3" spindle. The poly bushings that come in the control arms also squeek like hell if you dont grease the crap out of them.

I think it would work the 22s should give you the clearance and with teh large wheel the ground clearance of the lowered pocket shouldent give you a problem butt i have never seen it so i guess you will be the one who has to try it and tell us how it worked out
