I haven't installed a set of their control arms but DJM offers top notch components. Very happy with everything I've ordered.

BTW, the setup you are considering should be a simple bolt-in task. I don't know what size wheels you have but there may be clearance issues with 15's. Nothing a grinder can't solve though.

sweet, they quoted me 796$ for upper and lower control arms and springs for the front today, does that sound about right?

I've installed 4 sets of DJM arms. upper and lowers, along with their drop springs. Top notch stuff for sure. Go for it....you'll be very happy with their components.

I dunno if they offer a upper for yoru truck but the benifit if they do is that it has some corrected geometry characteristics to simplift the alignment....it is not needed though, a stocker will do.
