    I've been searching for a while but haven't found the info I'm looking for; I'm pretty sure I know what I need to do but just in case anyone has options I haven't thought of. Apologies if this has been discussed ad nauseam previously.

    I recently acquired a 2nd gen 5-lug that has been lowered (it looks like the DJM 3/3 kit) but the frame has not been notched, leading to very little suspension travel in the rear. Having the truck low doesn't really suit my needs anyhow, so I plan to remove the blocks at the rear, but this will leave considerable rake that I'd like to get rid of.

    As the DJM control arms lower the front by design geometry, I'm looking for a solution to raise the front end by just an inch or two to level the truck out. Is a spacer (like Revtek's or Fat Bob's) the easiest way to go? I don't have any of the stock front end parts.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Got a lot of stuff lol
    Can't you just buy some stock parts and sell the djm stuff? Lifting with their kit may cause issues. If you want a spacer ebay is a good source for 2" , 2.5" and 3" spacers specific to 2nd gen 5 lugs

    Hmm, that might be a better idea all around - hadn’t considered selling the djm stuff. Thanks!
