    Don't say thag..... Blah their kit seems to be able to make way more power is hate to pay 5k to only make 280 at best if even I was think 320-350 is g for me fun to play with and not too much where you pedal to the floor and mpg goes out the window

    280whp is plenty for me as a daily on pump. My dads SRT4 caliber was 285 bhp and I always had a blast driving it.

    So if I get the djm 3/4 kit and add 1 inch spacers up front...will I rub?

    And all I need is djm kit, xrunner bilsteins up front, djm rear blocks and qa1s?

    Sorry for repeating questions:confused:

    Negative, I was just talking about my spindle spacers. Still need to throw those in to be dropped 4 inches up front. I could use some 4 inch beefed blocks now tho, since I got my air shocks and can just raise up my ride whenever. Soon I shall be doing some work!

    Thanks a lot guys! You are all awesome and so much help. Just ordered my djm 3/4 kit and QA1s, made some 1 inch spindle spacers at my shop on the lathe now I just have tko install everything and get some 18s or 19s....im thinking 19s what do you guys think?

    And I need input on rear 4x4 leafs do they mount the same way as ours do? Or do I mount them over the axle like thye are on the 4x4s?

    The 4x4 leafs bolt right up however the center pin that holds em together you will need so make it point doing pin side on top nut in bottom

    I'm running 19s I like it tires are expensive however 245/40/19 is like $230 a pop mines are 245/35/19 $160 a pop 18s are cheaper but it all depends the look you going for
