Default DJM 3.5/5 Drop on '06 F150 2WD STX

Is it a good product?
on Stylin' Trucks i can get the kit and the drop shocks shipped for $643. A good price?
and would i be able to keep the stock wheels and tires untill i can get some low-pro street tires?

Any info, or pics would be greatly appreciated.

DJM makes a solid product for the money. I've had their 2/4 drop on my 2002 since about 2004 and the springs haven't sagged at all. Matter of fact I ended up popping a half a coil off of them to get a 3" drop in the front. I was expecting a little settle to happen and honestly it never did. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so. If a company sells you a 3.5/5 drop then it should pretty much stay at that level.

I think you'll be happy with their stuff. It's pretty solid and easy to install. Although I've never seen directions for any DJM products.

The only 04-08's DJM kits I've installed were a couple of flip kits for the rear. Everything lined up soild and was easy to do.

I'll tell you now, do not buy DJM shocks. They suck, plain & simple. They're the worst drop shocks I've ever installed and used. I'm using Belltech Nitro 2's right now and they've been damn good so far.

Good luck on your purchase.

Ahh, the kit comes with their shocks? Well in that case, you might as well use em. They have to be built is one of the problems I had with them. I couldn't get the dogbone to go in properly. If they come with the kit then use em for sure. You'll need new ones soon enough, being DJM's lasted me about 17K before being used up.

Post pics when you get er' dropped.
