They all look sick so far.. Im a fan of the 4/6 or 7 whichever makes it level.. The two tone does look sick.. Follows the lines of the truck.. Nice.. Keep the pics coming.. Cant hurt if nothing else for reference for everyone else..

The install is pretty straight forward. The only thing I would say about the DJM arms is they are known to have pretty crappy ball joints. I bought mine almost a year ago and haven't had any problems, but other people have. I would recommend getting new ball joints installed before putting them in your truck just to be safe. Other than that, I like them. I am still running my stock strut up front but am looking to get something different in their to see how it changes the ride.

I just installed the 4" djm arms. I did replace the lower balljoint with a lifetime NAPA balljoint. I think it rides great. Plus, they were able to aling it 100% in spec.

It took me about 4 hours to do the swap from the beltech stuff.

You're going to need a camber kit.

You will need the 2* kit from belltech or Summit. I had it installed but my factory balljoints were allready toast so the shop could not allign it properly. They are like 50 bucks for the kit.

I have the spindles and adjustable struts up front. I bought the alignment kit but did not have to use it. The shop left about 1 degree of camber in, but said there was still plenty of room to zero it out. 10,000 miles since it was aligned and absolutely no uneven wear yet.

I would contribute some pics of my lowered RCSB to this thread, but my truck is absolutely filthy from snow and rain since the middle of December. Maybe soon.

Edit* Here are a couple crappy ones in the mean time.
