I always wondered the same thing, and glad you posted info about the front drop, i'm looking into djm lca's with drop spindles or just shave the top lip off myself not very hard but would also like be able go back if i didn't like the drop. doubtfull but never know. and wasn't wanting to go much lower in my rear, I may add another 1 inch drop block or find a 4 inch block not sure but if i do this i know i'll go to a local driveshaft guy and have him balance and set it for me. very good guy and cheap as hell surprisingly. but he makes his money at the tracks here lmao.

You can "flip" your ball joints. Easy way to get an inch drop in the front without drop spindles. I guess it's to avoid camber issues.

Flipping ball joints is the way to go BUT, it adds camber.. Not sure if u meant that or not but it does add more camber (I think anyways... Lol)

I finally did the 3 inch steel blocks to level it. Bought new wheels as well.

Lowered the front. I think theres a small amount of negative camber, should be fine.

Looks sweet, man.

I would suggest an alignment. It'll eat your tires quicker over time. Just make sure you get a shop that knows customs not just stock.

Good to see this thing dropped. It looks great and a little negative camber never hurt nobody. Though as merciless said you will need an alignment now, the sooner the better for your tires... They will wear uneven rather quickly mostly due to the change in toe, not so much camber but both combined will trash a new set of tires if neglected for a while.

I have been lazy and haven't updated you guys on my truck!

I got a set of rims (15x8 -19offset)

Mono-leafed it
