3/5 drop

I finally got to order my lowering parts from DJM Suspension and now I am eagerly waiting for them to arrive. I ordered a 3/5 drop kit with lower control arms, a flip kit, and drop shocks. I plan on replacing the sway bar bushings and the driver side idler arm too. Has anyone installed this set up before and if so, anything to look out for? It's going on a 72' fleetside longbed with leafs in the rear.

Will do. I'm hoping to see the parts here by mid week and do the install this weekend.

Re: 3/5 drop

I installed the DJM LCA's and let me tell you that those arms are heavy duty! I've been driving on them almost a year now and have no complaints. If you have questions, then let me know. It was an easy install, I did the complete install in one saturday. What I like most about the arms is that you get a 3" front drop and you don't need a stack of shims on the UCA's to have proper alignment. What is also cool is that if you are at stock height, installing the arms does not put you out of alignment. I'm saving up for the DJM UCA's.
