Finally got the DJM 3/3 drop done. In the front I used the DJM upper and lower control arms and bought the complete set of ball joints for each arm from ebay for about $85. My buddy pressed in the ball joints in for the control arms with his haudralic press so that part went well. For the rears, I only installed the 3" blocks and U bolts, NO FRAME CUTTING. Last of all I want to thank all the guys who responded to my thread regarding my install questions. Thanks guys!

Here is a picture of stock height:

Very nice! I want my front end to be that low but don't want the rub issue clearance if there are any.

If you do carry stuff in your bed its gonna have a really bad harsh feeling. I got a 2 inch block on the back and its doesnt have a very nice ride when i place heavy things on the back.

Thanks, I like it way more than stock too!

Thanks for the compliment and the smooth transaction! I actually c notched it and don't like the 4" rear because of the rear sitting lower than the front, I love the way it looks and I'm satisfied with the drop:top:

Do you ever carry anything in the bed?

Yes I do, I just loaded the bed full of a choped topper, a celica trunk and bumper to get recycled today and it was fine.

So....what did you do with the c-notch?

Yea I used the C notch because the stock ones are too small for the 3" block.

Exactly cause I have money in hand for a notch:top:

Sorry all I have left is the rear brackets for the frame.

I got dibs on the notch if he wants to
sell it to me.

FYI Those brackets that are for the frame are the frame notch. Ubolts hold the blocks and leafs onto the axle

Sorry for the confusion lol. I used the DJM U bolts for the 3" block and did not use the frame notch.
