DJM Me

Old and Busted:



New hotness:






For all them DJM haters out there, and you know who you are. This kit does NOT ride rougher, it does the exact opposite. It rides SMOOTHER then it did before. I have never felt so safe going 120mph+ The truck handles like a dream and gets looks wherever I go. The 3.5/5 drop is worth every penny.

I used stock tires also, DJM says you cant. I assume you cant if you have the taller 32" tires.



***FIXED***
omg...why cant these ftw and f150online get along... I have to upload the pics here i guess.

I am not a big fan of lowered vehicles, but I have to admit that your ride looks pretty damn cool. Nice job.

Looks good for lowered but I never understood lowering a truck.

If handling and performance are prime concerns I'd get a car. No truck can hang with a lowered car for handling. To me a truck has always been for work or jacking up hillbillly style.

just my HO anyhow.

Because I still tow and haul things around with my truck. Thats why I got a truck. I would have much rather had a 03/04 cobra or 05 GT. Just because its lowered, doesn't mean it cant do what a truck was intended to do. Can it go offroad? No, but it still can do most anything 90% of the people who buy trucks use them for, including me.

Now maybe you understand

I also "like em tall" and thus the Lariat 4x4.

But I have to admit, it does look nice.

Oh dont get me wrong, I love lifted trucks. I used to have a 02 screw 3" body t-bars cranked rollin on 35's. I miss that truck everyday. I am, and always will be, a street pounder. Just cant get that out of my blood. If I could have both I would. Maybe one day when im out of college and have a job.


Thanks for all the compliments guys, i really apreciate it.

I have to agree with you but in my case I never go off road and I would really like to slam my 4X4 just because it looks so cool...

Because 99% of the people buy a truck to have the "rugged offroad look" yet it never sees anythign where it needs the ground clearance or the need for 4x4 traction.

Therefore! A smart individual like me, who knows a truck like mine will never see any form of offroad, will lower the truck. Making it easier to load and unload, eaiser to get in and out of, handles extremely better(aka stable), better gas milage, rides better/smoother(the lowered rear end will do that) etc.


I wonder why people are so ignorant sometimes

Theres something out there for everyone. I just don't get why people have to be so ignorant when it comes to something they don't like. Personally if I could have my wishes come true, I'd have a lifted and a lowered truck, I can dream can't I?
