so with this kit, do any of you have trouble going in and out of drive ways as well as over speed bumps? and will carrying something about 300 lbs in the bed be a problem? also will 19's with a 40/45 series tire fit?

if you hall 300 lbs often, i wouldnt get it. as is, you must drive alot more careful now that it can scrape driveways (although i dont since i am careful) and you can now hit curbs with the front facia.

with the tires, its not about the profile series (35, 40, 45......) its about the tire diameter. a 255 35 20 and a 275 35 20 are almost an inch difference in height. the series (35 in this case) is only a percentage of the width, which is the first number.

no one has pushed the tire size with this drop, and i can get the front tires to rub the plastic inner fenders if i turn sharp and hit a bump. ill have my tires within the week hopefully, then ill be able to tell you how much work it is to make a 27.8 inch tire to fit with the djm drop.

thanx for the help, do you think i would be able to fit 19" wheels with 45 or 40 series tires 255 wide without rubbing? if not what size tire profile and width would i have to get to make the 19's fit with a djm 3"/3" drop?

I have it and its fine. 99.9% never bottom the front. Get shorter bumpstops on the rear for the 2" block and its fine, just dont carry anything without an air assit out back.
