When combined, DJM arms + Belltech 3" drop springs would make for a 5" drop in front.

I read that stock springs won't fit the DJM (lower) arms, so would that also be the case with Belltech?

Anyone know for sure?

Honestly, I'm not sure about the coil springs fitting the DJM arms. A larger issue would be the fact that it can be very difficult or impossible to properly align one of these trucks if the front is lowered more than 4 inches. Proper alignment would require elongating the upper control arms. Improper alignment would cause premature tire wear, and can negatively impact fuel economy as well.

I'd assume they will fit. I'm thinking too much about things.

Bruh, I know all about them improper alignments. :headbang:

Toe will kill tires faster than camber.
