DJ1 is the best of the three.
DJ3 uses a 9mm QR. If you can afford it, step up from that one.
I don't see the DJ2 (or 4x) on Marzocchi's website anymore. Is it gone? IIRC, the DJ2 had steel stanchions and steer tube, and DJ1 has alloy stanchions and steer tube, but don't quote me on that one. That likely means the DJ1 is lighter...but let's face it, all three of those forks are pigs!

The difference between the DJ1 and DJ2 is 1. The difference between the DJ2 and DJ3 is 1. The difference between the DJ1 and DJ3 is 2. But despite their differences, the answer to any of these is 42.

Yeah, I was one of the people who recommended them to you... When I say they're pigs, I mean they are HEAVY forks.
Sorry D confused you. He forgot the variables. The difference between DJ2 and DJ1 is actually DJ1, the difference between DJ3 and DJ2 is also DJ1, and the difference between DJ3 and DJ1 is DJ2. The difference between 4x and DJ1 is simply 4x - DJ1, and the difference between 4x and DJ3 is simply 4x - DJ3, as that can't be reduced any further. However, the difference between 4x and DJ2 can be factored to 2(2x - DJ) if you wish.
