DJM suspension and Why I think I should get CPP control arms with 2" drop spindles

I have a lowered shortwide with a complete DJM kit (upper, Lower control arms yada yada yad). The problem with the kit is the upper control arms are not long enough for the lower drop control arms. I had to machine a massive 1/2 inch think spacer on top of at least an inch of shims to get the alignment nailed on it. I've checked between my frame and another square body frame to see if my frame had collapsed on itself or had some previous damage I wasn't aware of. Turns out they both measured the same. So at this point, I believe that I will be taking the control arms off and putting a set of nice CPP control arms on with a 2 or 3" drop spindle and do something with the ugly powder coated drop coil as well. I thought I share with you guys my experience with DJM and help you guys that want to do a 5/6 drop on your square body trucks in the future and to also see if you guys have come into the same situation as I have.
Have a great weekend guys!!
