Was looking at they're 3/5 drop. Is anyone on here running the djm lower control arms and launching in 4wd? They look nice just not sure what kind of abuse they will take.

If you get them replace the balljoints with MOOG stuff asap. Just had both mine go out within a week of each other.

Other than that i've never had any issues, i don't have 4wd but i beat the hell out of them worse than anyone else ever will and zero issues with the actual arms.

DJM lower control arms in Punisher yes. Been in 5 or so years, but very low miles with it.

Was goin to use ranchos all the way around just not sure what size. You have the control arms on the Punisher?
ranchos rs 9000 are my next step..you will also need to build taction bars, got pretty bad wheel hop with out them.

I also run the 3/5 lowering kit on my racetruck, 40 passes on the truck and everything is holding up great. Also run cognito traction bars in the back, and racho 9000 shocks all around. I'm very happy with my suspension setup right now, launches great. And i run on slicks, 1.60 - 1.65 60footers

Thats the same exact set up I want to run. Good to hear. Trying to figure out the part number for rancho right now.

What size slicks? Would I be able to get my 30x14s under my truck?

Only problem I see lowering a truck is the negative CV issues. I broke/snapped off 3-4 cv's when I lowered mine more.

Ya i still have my torsion keys bolts around the same as stock, don't wanna lower it much more because of the cv angles, so far so good, i've got a spare cv axle if one blows on me at the track, maybe i'll get another spare just in case they both go out at the same time lol

I planned on running the m&h 31.5x12x16. Hopefully these fit. As far as the cv angle, I don't mind a slight negative angle. My guess is even with 9000's the front is going to lift a little. Only my guess though.

yup definitely gonna lift, mine are on the stiffest setting all the way around, if it still lifts with the QA1 coilovers i'm gonna go with limiting straps

I'm not sure exactly how much it lifts but too much for my likings, if i look at my tires they're wearing on the outer edge because of the positive camber when the frontend lifts up.
