DJM is the only way to go really http://www.illusivefabrications.com/html/modules.php?name=catalog&file=index&cPath=21_23

I built some prototypes but am having issues with having parts machined since I dont have a lathe in house. So far Ive had great results with the uppers that are adjustable for the camber. The lowers I never really had anybody interested in so they were put on the back burner.

Thanks. I'm just making sure, those lower a-arms will work with coil springs right? I dont have the money to bag mine yet so, im just trying to fix my camber, because a 245/35/20 tire is too damn expensive to be replacing every 4-6 months. I have a camber adjuster kit on there now but that didnt help enough.

Yea the DJM arms are designed for a static drop but everybody uses them for air ride as well.

just be sure to check the ball joints for proper installation there designed to go a certain way and lately we the ranger community have noticed a lot of broken ball joints due to them being installed from djm the wrong way there is a small hole of the  top ball joint this should be facing the tire not running parallel to the frame.
