    So I'm thinking about doing DJM's 3" control arm and block kit. Would love to see some pics of that set-up or similar. Thanks.

    Thinking about the same drop but using leafs and small blocks for the rear.. Pics of 3/3 drop with 18's only would be nice! considering Both the OP and I are running 18's

    Dropped torsions and 3" blocks on 15's. Not exciting but it is what it is.

    seems like a good amount of drop for DD if it keep the ride smooth.

    Here's mine with a 3/3 drop. I did Belltech drop spindles with a bj flip in the front and Belltech springs in the back. It had a lot more rake than I was expecting, so I ended up adding 1" blocks in the back, which you can see in the second pic. It's kind of hard to tell from the pics, but it definitely looks better with the blocks, imo.

    Thanks! The ride is a little stiff, but I like it. Feels sportier than stock. When I first got it, it still had the stock shocks, which were totally done, so it handles a lot better now. I have belltech shocks in the rear and toxic shocks up front.

    Now I'm second guessing whether that first pic is before or after the 1" blocks, but basically the rake was more noticeable with 3/3. Might have less rake if you go with another setup, though.

    Looks dang good. I'm still not sure what route I'm going. Might go the spindle way......but all I know, is that it needs to come down a bit.

    225/40r18

    18x7.5 +45

    I'd rub a tiny bit at full turn due to messed up steering stops. Easily preventable.

    Good info. I'm aiming at a 4/4 drop w/ 18x9.5 +20 and 20' spacers on 225/40/18's. Just might work:D
