Dream beams

Hello. I am restoring a 1977 F 150 Ranger 2 wd. I have heard that DJM drop beams are junk. I also heard that the beltech brand is pretty good. Some guys go with a crown vic front end. The drop beams seem to be the easier option. Any thoughts? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I haven't had any problems with the DJM beams on my '70.

Belltech doesn't make beams for Bumps or Dents.

I've put about 12,000 miles on a set of dream beams. The only thing junk about them is the powder coat. Crown Vic is better if you are a fabricator and can weld.

Belltech drop beams are good quality, I had some for my '94 Lightning. But, as stated, they don't make them for the older trucks
