Why don't you want the djm ones ? They work perfectly

there will be some new arms on the market possibly later on in the year but are in the R & D stage right now. I will keep you posted on their progress

i heard the djm ones break ball joints and how can i make the stock ones work?Zing the frame? how much does that cost normally cause the guy that does my welding is scared to do it.he says it's because that it is an 03 he doesn't want to take the chance of messing up a newer truck and i can't afford the down time cause it is my daily.

as apposed to screwing up a old truck? Doesn't sound like much of a welder...
BYC is no longer around, so nothing is needed there. I would Z it, but find someone who has more skills in welding.

You can Z the frame rails and use DJM's just fine to get down on big wheels.

Hell you can lay on at least 18's in front with just DJM's and a little trimming.

I would also replace your ball joints with Moogs. BTW where did you get the info on breaking ball joints. I know Ranger suspensions are bad about wearing them out quicker.
