SignUp Now!Ya know this is not the first time I have seen poor quality on DJM's behalf. On my last vehicle (Trailblazer SS) they had similar issues as well. Bolts were backing out of the arms. I think I will definitely stay away from DJM in the future.
So I called djm back yesterday to see if they wanted me to mail the old one back for an EI. Mike told me nope "use it as a doorstop".... So I proceeded to ask about the new design and reason for reinforcing that area, and about all the others who had the old unreinforced bracket..he told me to tell "everyone to drive slower with older kits". I'm not sure what to think of this guy but I will not talk to him again. Nothing but an ass and douche

I've heard arguments on both sides - great experiences and poor. The fact is that if you want a bolt-on kit to go lower than 2 inches, DJM is the only option for the X-Runner.

Just curious but what makes you qualified to say that I mean I'm a welder and I've seen my share of failed welds and I couldn't tell you if it was too much heat or just material fatigue that caused that to fail just from the one picture
Just got the replacement...it looks as if they had foreseen this failure coming. Right where mine failed is a added support welded in and the PC looks way better...pics to follow
Ya that's pretty shitty of an answer fo sho! What kind of bullshit is that to tell someone they have to drive slower?!

Did they only give you one arm or did they repace both?
they only replaced the damaged A arm
Why is DJM the only option?
DJM is the only option for anyone looking to go lower then 1.75" up front and 2.25" in the rear and that comes with a notch
Tony do all the kits now come with the upgraded balljoint connection on the lower control arms?
yes all the kits now come with the beefed up location
And quick quesiton to all of you. Why are you referring to upper and lower control arms as A-arms?
guess cause the look to be in the shape of the letter "A"
since 04 till now installing these kit and selling them this is the first failure that ive heard of. That being said all the units ive been selling have been the updated version since the fix was made.
But people buying from stylinconcepts and other places that keep the stock on the shelf still have the old versions they are selling to customers. This is just another reason many people just sell these items but have no knowledge on the product just like ebay sellers. ALl they do is read from books.
Peep your head into the Trailblazer SS forum and you will find other issues for DJM kits. The forum owner was actually taking the parts and fixing them for owners.
