Both are reputable companies and make quality products. I'd buy whichever one is offering the better deal for the same package.

I was told that the Belltech spindles increase your track width. I went with DJM spindles for that reason

Have a full Bell Tech kit (4/6 with their c-notch & shocks) on my 2dr Tahoe. Had to roll the fender lips to clear the 20's. But no rubbing & rides very well.

What size tires are u running? I’m thinking on running the Texas edition replica 22s and was wondering what tire size I should go with on a 4/6 drop

That is true. But I think it is minimal. I've known guys to run them with no issues. I think spindles from any of the big companies are pretty safe choices.

2/4 drop on an 04 ram and the back shackles squeaked bad. The beltech that i have on my 94 doesn't make a sound

DJM powdercoating is....really bad. I just had to strip mine and repaint everything because the powdercoat was gone off the c notch and axle flip parts on the Tahoe Limited. Most of the powdercoat just flaked off in sheets.
