Has anyone used anything else beside the drop beams on there truck thinking I want mine lower then I'm going to be able to get out of the beams thanks

 

Some folks have cut springs, but that can cause alignment problems, and if you lower it like you're talking, you will wind up with major alignment issues. If you want to lower it more than the 3 inches provided by the dream beams, you can go with a lower profile tire to get another inch. If you wish to go lower than 4 inches or so, you should consider a Crown Vic front end swap. Let us know what you decide.

 

Something I wish I'd known about before I started my build.

I think Ron pretty much summed it up in his post.
By the way Ron, how's the build coming along?

 

i went with drop beams, Lightning coils, and then 27" tall front tires. the forntend went down about 6"... the alignment is spot on, i know, i did it myself, it took me all day at my work that day.
This is my 95... with all that drop.

 

I was thinking the crown vic set up but have not seen a truck like mine with that anyone know someone that has done it thanks for the response so far just seeing what i can come up with before I decide

 

This was the best writeup I have seen...sad thing is the pictures no long show. Shouldn't be too much difference from his verions to ours.

I have dream beams front, hangers and shackles in the rear for a 3/4 drop. I am running 255/45/18's all the way around. I plan to cut a bit of the front coil for 1 more inch drop to be happiest (or find 93-95 lighning coils). I converted my front end from king pin to 93 up ball joints (better adjustability).

mudgepondexpress would you have any pics. of yours and I'm wondering if the frames are the same width or if it would even work thanks

 

Right click on my name and look at my Gallary for more:

Not much done lately. Started working on heat shields for the cats. It's been busy at work and really pretty cold, so haven't been spending much time in the garage.
