DJM Dream Beam issue

Anyone had an issue with positive camber? They are installed correctly but I have way to much positive camber. I don't think my springs are the original because they are way to new looking.

My truck originally had a 390 but has a 302 now. Could this be the issue? Also the motor is not in the truck currently.

A 302 weighs a good bit less than a 390. Swap for correct springs and finish putting it together, drive it a 100 miles or so then see.

the dream beams can be cold bent a little just like stock. I have 15k trouble free miles on mine in my dent.

My DJM beams are fine too. I'd wait till you have the front of the truck back together and then see how it sits.

awesome thanks y'all. I ordered the 302 springs. the diameter of the 302 springs looks smaller than the ones on my truck now

I agree with "MIKES 68 F100". I would wait until all that metal is back on. I think the hood alone is 89 pounds. If it doesn't straighten out with that load then you have the other springs coming.
