lowering questions
i just got in my djm beams for the front, i wanna know how hard its goin to be to install, and should i just replace my ball joints and stuff to? and the rear from what ive read isnt that hard, i have the djm flip kit, i only have 1 day to put all of it on cuz of work and everything, and my ranger is my daily driver, so if i start at like 8 in the morning should i finish the whole thing?

Re: lowering questions
if you dont run into any problems, like i did (took me about 2 full days), you should have it in a day, and yes i would replace the ball joints

Re: lowering questions
If I drop the back of my truck 4-5 inches. How much will I have to drop my front end? And what is the best way to go about this?

Re: lowering questions
you would want at least 3 inches on the front so its sits level, best way is just coil springs
