    I have a 2002 extended cab 4 cyl and am looking to do a 2/3 drop. I've been searching but haven't been able to really find a clear answer on what is the best route. Ball joint flip? Springs? Spindles? I read about it and talk to people and everyone seems to have a different opinion. What do you guys feel is the best way to accomplish this drop?

    I agree the DJM is the best in the box drop, I think the key is to make sure that everything on your front end is solid! Lowering on a bad/worn front end is a recipe for disaster

    Thanks for the info! That's exactly the look I'm going for...when you say djm kit is that the upper control arm with the ball joint flip?

    Thanks for the info! I had my tie rods replace and plan to change out the ball joints when I do this drop...is there anything else I should do?

    Thank you! Very useful information...I'll give them a call but that seems to be the best route to go.
