My question is this?

I have installed the DJM beams.


Can I now put in a 2" lowering spring, for a total of 5" drop?
And if I can, what and where are the best ones to purchase?
And if the camber needs to be adjusted AFTER the springs are installed, can it be done WITHOUT busting the beams?

Ok so DJM is the beam of choice , what shocks did you use ?
stocks or did you have to get a lowered shock
with only 3" anyone just modify the the top shock location . cut /extend/weld ?

I believe the beam just moves the spindle/kingpin up 3". The shock mounting locations shouldn't move so you can use stock length shocks

If you're thinking about doing it, that would be the time to install an OEM swaybar and brackets from a 75-79 Dentside...

Even if thinking about it, install the C-brackets thru which the I-beam to RA bolt goes through... then round up the rest of the parts later (links, swaybar, frame brackets, & bushings).

Yep. Going back in later to install those endlink brackets will not be fun.
